Event Overview

The Corporate and M&A and the International Private Clients and Family Law commissions are excited to invite you to the Seminar “Venture Visionaries – Angels, Demons and Other Relatives” in Berlin in March 2026.

The program includes a series of panels and discussions delving into the various aspects of venture capital transactions and assessing the interaction and challenges with family office governance, family wealth preservation models, estate planning and alternative investments. The discussions will provide insights on managing, protecting, and growing family wealth through venture investments, while also addressing the unique governance and legal challenges that come with it.

What are the considerations of family and estate planning law that are useful to an M&A lawyer when structuring the deal?  What do family and private client lawyers need to know about VC transactions to provide effective support for the families they work with?  What is the role of the next-gen and what are the implications of venture transactions from an estate and family planning perspective to consider? How can all the stakeholders of similar transactions work together more effectively?

We will therefore focus on the role of the VC ecosystems in variable situations. We will also discuss how we as lawyers can contribute and make an impact as much and valuable as possible.

Alongside the academic program, attendees will have the chance to immerse themselves in the vibrant spirit of Berlin — a dynamic metropolis where rich history meets bold creativity. From world-class museums and iconic street art to legendary nightlife that lasts until dawn, Berlin offers an experience like no other.

As one of Europe’s leading hotspots for venture capital, Berlin boasts a thriving start-up ecosystem supported by a strong network of investors. This event presents a unique opportunity to connect with fellow professionals operating in and around venture capital.

We look forward to welcoming you to Berlin. Save the date!
