As part of our leadership focus on the venture markets, Sonnenschein's Venture Technology Group (VTG) frequently takes the "pulse" of the markets through surveys and analysis of funding and deal trends, term sheets and deal volumes, types of exits and more.

Our broad and deep relationships with venture firms, iBankers, industry associations and emerging growth company executives positions us uniquely among major venture law firms nationwide. And our experience in a broad array of industry sectors - including information technology, new media, life sciences and medical devices, cleantech and nanotechnology - gives us a vantage point from which to observe and interpret the venture industry as it evolves, for the benefit of our clients.
