I am a senior associate in our Corporate Group, with a particular focus on venture capital and M&A transactions in the technology and media, sports, and entertainment sectors.

The first edition of the Legal 500: Venture Capital Comparative Guide is now online. The aim of this guide is to provide its readers with a pragmatic overview of the law and practice of venture capital law across a variety of jurisdictions.

Each chapter of this guide provides information about the current issues affecting venture capital in a particular country and addresses topics such as equity structure, typical investment periods, incentives as well as insight and opinion on the most common issues in their respective country.

The Q&A template for each chapter has been provided by Struan Penwarden and Benjamin Simon.

We have written the UK chapter. This country-specific Q&A provides an overview of Venture Capital laws and regulations applicable in United Kingdom.
