Overview
PE, VC or M&A transactions result in long term partnership between investors and investees. To ensure the partnership remains stable and is successful over such a long period, the elements of the relationship need to be clearly understood, thoughtfully negotiated, carefully documented, and must accommodate the legitimate interests of both the parties involved in a PE, VC or M&A Deals.
The investor would want to make sure its investment is protected, and the company would want to make sure it's able to do business unhindered and that the founders have protected their interests in the venture.
