RPCK Rastegar Panchal

What RPCK Rastegar Panchal does

RPCK Rastegar Panchal is an international boutique law firm founded in 2010 by Allen & Overy alumni Keyvan Rastegar and Chintan Panchal, operating from Vienna (headquarters, RPCK Rechtsanwalts FlexCo), New York (RPCK Rastegar Panchal LLP), and a Denver office opened in December 2020 at the Colorado School of Mines Beck Venture Center. The firm delivers legal services across six practice areas — Corporate and M&A, Venture Capital and Private Equity, Impact Investing, Debt Finance, Real Estate, and Litigation and Dispute Resolution — with a particular emphasis on cross-border US–European transactions, venture and growth equity, and social-impact / blended finance mandates.

RPCK's clients include venture capital and private equity funds, family offices, development finance institutions (e.g., Swedfund, Finnfund, US DFC), growth-stage companies, and social enterprises. The firm is recognized as an early market leader in Impact Investing, having completed 75+ impact transactions and helped deploy over $500 million in impact investments worldwide according to Forbes, and it holds a distinctive position as a contributor to Austrian FlexKapGG legislation and a teacher of convertible instruments at the University of Vienna. Strategic credibility is reinforced by eleven consecutive years of JUVE Banking & Finance recognition (2015–2026), Chambers Global rankings, a JUVE Handbook cover feature, and two Grunin Prize finalist nominations.

RPCK generates revenue through professional services fees billed on an engagement basis, with no published rate card and no productized or technology platform. Client acquisition runs through partner-led relationships, referrals, and directory-driven reputation rather than traditional marketing channels, and the firm explicitly competes on tailored, cross-border expertise rather than scale. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investors, and growth has been funded entirely through operating cash, supported by ongoing lateral hiring and incremental geographic expansion.
