Venture Debt & Growth Financing

Advising on debt financing for high-growth and venture-backed companies and their capital providers

We advise clients on venture debt and growth financing across the full lifecycle of transactions, from structuring and negotiation through execution of debt facilities tailored to high-growth and venture-backed businesses.

We serve as go-to outside counsel for leading innovative banks, credit funds, and venture capital investors, as well as the early-stage, growth, and mature companies they finance. Our work spans diverse industries, including technology, financial services, fintech, life sciences, health care, digital assets, space technology, digital media, artificial intelligence, and clean technology. We help clients define risk, set credit aperture, and develop covenant structures that allow for growth while protecting lender interests, all in a streamlined structure focused on value and efficient execution.

Clients engage us across a wide range of financing structures, including venture debt facilities, recurring-revenue, HaaS and SaaS credit lines, growth capital loans, asset-backed financings, mezzanine debt, convertible instruments, warrants, customer acquisition financing, and refinancing and recapitalization transactions.

From initial structuring through documentation and closing, our team remains actively involved throughout the life of the facility, advising on amendments, waivers, covenant compliance, restructurings, exits, and workout and enforcement matters as businesses and facilities evolve.

With more than 200 dedicated finance lawyers globally, we regularly support cross-border venture debt transactions and complex, multi-jurisdictional financings. Our integrated team collaborates across regulatory, tax, intellectual property, digital asset, and restructuring practices to address the commercial and legal issues that arise in growth-stage financings, delivering practical, commercially focused counsel that supports clients from initial financing through maturity and beyond.
