Private Equity and Venture Capital

Support for any transaction

Across the many types of transactions in this category, there are recurring challenges. Valuation discrepancies, debt structure and financing risk, regulatory and compliance exposure, operational challenges, covenant restrictions, market volatility, and exit strategies, to name but a few.

In any scenario – leveraged buyouts, minority interest transactions, going-private transactions, mezzanine and senior financings, executive compensation matters, leveraged dividends, or recapitalizations – our work for private equity and VC firms goes deeper than transaction evaluation, accounting, and support.

We view each client as the author of a unique investment story that is still being written. Our experience, work, advice, and insight help to shape successful conclusions to each of those stories.

Clients often cite “active listening” as a Kraft characteristic. We pride ourselves on devoting the same passion and intellectual curiosity to smaller clients as we do to those with multibillion-dollar valuations. Like the firms we serve, we see interesting opportunities everywhere around us.
