What does an Investments & Capital Markets practice actually cover?

An Investments & Capital Markets practice covers private investments, capital raising, securities transactions, project finance and the structuring and protection of cross-border investments. At Averites, this spans the full investment lifecycle, from the initial deployment of capital through governance, additional financing, strategic transactions, restructuring, exit and, where necessary, enforcement.

Which markets does Averites advise on for investment transactions?

We regularly act on matters involving the United States, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, the European Union and other international markets.

Is documenting the transfer of capital enough to protect an investment?

No. Investment transactions require more than documenting the initial transfer of capital. The legal structure determines who owns and controls the investment, how additional financing may be raised, how economic returns are allocated, what protections apply if performance deteriorates or the parties’ interests diverge, and how the investor ultimately realizes value or recovers capital.

What issues does Averites focus on to make sure an investment works in practice?

We focus on ownership, control, valuation, financing, regulatory exposure, downside protection, liquidity, repatriation and enforceability — the issues that determine whether an investment actually performs, not just how it is initially documented.

How does Averites handle investments that span multiple jurisdictions?

Where a transaction spans multiple jurisdictions, we coordinate corporate, tax, securities, regulatory, competition and disputes considerations through a single investment strategy, rather than treating each jurisdiction as a separate, disconnected workstream.

OUR APPROACH

How We Advise on Investments and Capital Markets Transactions

Advising Across the Full Investment Lifecycle

Our lawyers advise throughout the investment lifecycle, from the initial deployment of capital and negotiation of investment terms through governance, additional financing, strategic transactions, restructuring, exit and, where necessary, enforcement. We regularly act on matters involving the United States, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, the European Union and other international markets.
Why Investment Structure Matters More Than the Initial Transfer of Capital

Investment transactions require more than documenting the initial transfer of capital. The legal structure determines who owns and controls the investment, how additional financing may be raised, how economic returns are allocated, what protections apply if performance deteriorates or the parties’ interests diverge, and how the investor ultimately realizes value or recovers capital.
What Determines Whether an Investment Works in Practice

We therefore focus on the issues that determine whether an investment works in practice: ownership, control, valuation, financing, regulatory exposure, downside protection, liquidity, repatriation and enforceability. Where a transaction spans multiple jurisdictions, we coordinate corporate, tax, securities, regulatory, competition and disputes considerations through a single investment strategy.
