“Deloitte” is the brand under which tens of thousands of dedicated professionals in independent firms throughout the world collaborate to provide audit, consulting, financial advisory, risk management, and tax services to selected clients. These firms are members of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (“DTT”), a Swiss Verein. Each member firm provides services in a particular geographic area and is subject to the laws and professional regulations of the particular country or countries in which it operates. DTT helps coordinate the activities of the member firms but does not itself provide services to clients. DTT and the member firms are separate and distinct legal entities, which cannot obligate the other entities. DTT and each DTT member firm are only liable for their own acts or omissions, not those of any other entity.

Networking and Dealmaking for Our Clients
Recognizing that one of the keys to every company’s success is access to capital at every stage, we actively leverage our deep relationships with venture capital firms, investment banking firms, and private equity firms to make targeted personal introductions for emerging company clients seeking financing.

We understand that our clients’ focus is on getting their deals done and that our job is to make sure they know the legal and business nuances, opportunities, and risks, while not “over-lawyering” their transaction.
