Legal: Information Rights

In this 2-part series on venture capital information rights, we examine how early-stage investors can both secure and operationalize access to essential company data. Drawing on expert insights from Harvey Esquire, Part 1 outlines what information rights are, why they matter, and how to negotiate key terms through investor rights agreements, side letters, and management rights letters. In Part 2, we explore how to turn those legal rights into a disciplined, collaborative transparency framework—covering red flag identification, LP reporting workflows, and post-deal governance strategies.
