    /My focus

    Mergers & Acquisitions

    I advise buyers and sellers in a variety of merger and acquisition transactions, including stock purchases, asset sales, mergers, divestitures, and reorganizations. I’ve recently represented a strategic buyer in multiple acquisitions and have significant experience in complex M&A structures.

    General Business Counseling/Outside General Counsel

    I act as outside general counsel and trusted advisor for a wide range of companies, including in the life sciences, medical device, healthcare, and technology industries. In this capacity, I work closely with senior management teams to assist in overall strategic decisions and advise them on important business and legal issues that arise. As such, I advise clients in the areas of business strategy and planning, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, executive compensation, and other business matters. My areas of experience include raising capital (debt and equity), employment issues and compensation, protecting and commercializing technology, and tax planning.

    Leveraged Finance

    I also represent clients in connection with finance and loan matters. I have been involved or acted as lead counsel on the financing of several noteworthy complex leveraged acquisitions, as well as significant acquisition lines of credit, equipment financing transactions, and mortgage financings.
