We Provide Sophisticated Advice & Counsel To Growth Companies
Our goal is to serve as an extension of your team. We provide a range of legal and consulting services, depending on the stage of your business.
For private companies.
We can serve as your primary outside counsel, as an interim general counsel, as an extension of your in-house team or on a project basis to run financing or M&A transactions.
-
General Corporate
Working with your board, hiring employees, contracts with strategic partners. All the everyday blocking and tackling companies need to handle.
-
Venture Financing
After hundreds of VC financings, from the smallest pre-seed to half billion dollar expansion rounds, you’ll get sophisticated and responsive counsel on this critical task in the life of your company.
-
M&A
Most companies don’t go public. They sell to a strategic buyer or possibly a PE shop. I’ve helped countless entrepreneurs understand the issues behind the sale of their companies.
For companies contemplating an IPO.
Our goal is to minimize the impact to your business of the IPO process. In conjunction with your outside counsel and your in-house IPO team, we provide high impact and cost efficient strategic and tactical support. From choosing underwriters to organizing diligence responses, we let you continue to focus on your business.

An IPO is a Journey
Getting ready for an IPO is a journey. And that journey isn’t always straightforward. Let us help you navigate the process.
-
Building your Team
By far the most important piece of IPO prep is to make sure your IPO team is ready - finance, board and legal.
-
Choosing and working with bankers
We have worked with all of the major investment banks, and have a great deal of familiarity with selecting and working productively with your underwriting syndicate.
-
IPO Legal Prep
The road to the IPO starts long before the first words are drafted for your prospectus or road show deck. You need to build the foundation of the IPO with your due diligence process management.
-
IPO – Telling the Story
An IPO is a chance to tell the story of your business, and we help you develop the themes of your financial and business disclosure.
We understand technology and innovation companies.
Industry Expertise
Through years of working with technology companies of all types all across the US and world, I have gained particular expertise around financial technology, ecommerce and enterprise software companies.
-
FinTech
Fintech companies exist at the intersection of regulation and innovation, requiring deep knowledge of regulatory regimes combined with practical understandings of the business.
-
ECommerce
ECommerce companies often combine deep tech with seemingly mundane logistics requirements. I’ve worked with a range of sellers and facilitators and can help with revenue contracts and general guidance.
-
Software & Innovation
Something of a catch-all - but the spirit of innovation means that we always have to focus on what CAN be done, and how to ensure that you’re doing it with an appropriate understanding of risks and rewards.
-
Crypto & Blockchain
As a securities lawyer focused on innovation, I’ve been actively involved with the development of crypto businesses for more than 5 years and have a deep appreciation for the myriad legal restraints on this market.
