Experience
Examples of our experience:

  1. We recently acted as Medtech Solicitors in a substantial fundraising round for a medtech company. It included investments from leading VC’s, state agencies, angel investors and a number of private investors. We dealt with all aspects of the fundraising round in an expeditious manner. We also advised and prepared the necessary legal documentation in respect of the company’s employee incentive arrangements as well as drafting various consultancy agreements for the company. In particular, we advised this company in relation to its technology transfer agreement with a third-level institution and dealt with all due diligence queries.
  2. We also recently acted as Medtech Solicitors for another medtech company that completed a substantial fundraising round with a number of investors, including leading VC’s, state agencies, angel investors and several private investors. We previously successfully advised the promoters of this company in another project and acted as lead advisor in the sale of the entire issued share capital of the company.
  3. We have acted in a series of fundraising rounds for another medtech company from a number of private investors, a VC and Enterprise Ireland. We dealt with term sheets, various subscription and shareholders agreements. We advised on all issues arising in the context of the various rounds of investment. These included all company law issues on a restructuring of the shareholder base that involved the exit of an Irish VC and an investment from an international private equity fund.
