Not a Law Firm

Purple Iguana Investments, LLC is not a law firm and does not practice law in any jurisdiction.

Its principal is a lawyer by training, but the services provided by the firm are not legal services. They do not carry the protections of a lawyer-client relationship, they are not privileged, and no communication with the firm creates a lawyer-client relationship.

Clients should obtain independent legal advice from qualified counsel admitted in the relevant jurisdiction regarding the structuring, negotiation, documentation and closing of any transaction and the terms of any engagement with this firm.

Not a Broker-Dealer, Investment Adviser or Fund

Purple Iguana Investments, LLC is not registered as a broker-dealer, investment adviser or in any similar capacity with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities regulator or any non-U.S. financial regulator.

It is not a private fund or pooled investment vehicle.

It does not pool, hold or manage capital from outside investors and does not take custody of anyone’s funds.

Interests in the firm itself are privately held and are not offered to the public.

Where investors other than the firm participate in a transaction, they invest directly, on their own account and on the terms of that transaction.

The firm acts only in transactions involving privately held companies in which no class of securities is registered under Section 12 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or subject to reporting under Section 15(d) of that Act, and in which the buyer will, on closing, control and actively operate the business acquired.

It does not engage in general solicitation or general advertising, does not bind any party to a transaction, does not arrange financing and does not take custody of the funds or securities of any party.

It receives no fee, commission or other remuneration for the offer, sale, placement, distribution or raising of securities or capital.

Where the firm holds equity in a transaction, it does so on its own account.

The firm may act as advisor and as an equity-holding party in the same transaction. Its arrangements in each capacity are documented separately in writing.

Nothing on this website is an offer, solicitation or recommendation with respect to any security or transaction.

Readiness Engagements

Work undertaken to prepare a company or its owners for a possible transaction is advisory in nature.

It does not constitute legal, tax, accounting, audit or valuation advice and does not commit any party to a transaction.

Any corrective step identified in the course of such work is implemented by the company through its own qualified counsel, accountants and other professional advisors.

Board Service

Where the principal of Purple Iguana Investments, LLC serves on the board of directors or advisory board of a company, he does so in an individual capacity.

The duties arising from that office are owed personally to the company and its shareholders. They are not duties of the firm and are not affected by any commercial relationship between the company and the firm.

Board service is undertaken subject to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and indemnification arrangements maintained by the company and subject to a written protocol governing recusal where the company considers a transaction on which the firm is, or may become, engaged.

No Confidentiality Before Engagement

Information sent to Purple Iguana Investments, LLC by email, telephone or otherwise before a written engagement is in place is not treated as confidential or privileged.

Please do not send confidential, privileged or sensitive information until we have confirmed that we are able to receive it and have completed our conflict and client acceptance checks.

Privacy

We collect and process personal information submitted to us in order to respond to inquiries, conduct conflict and AML/KYC checks, assess and administer engagements, comply with legal obligations and maintain business records.

That information may be shared with professional advisors, service providers, regulators and competent authorities where necessary for those purposes or where required by law.

Because much of our work is cross-border, information may be transferred to or accessed from jurisdictions outside the country in which you are located.

Our Privacy Notice describes your rights and how to exercise them.
