    Introduction

    My focus

    M&A and Corporate Transactions

    I represent public and private companies in strategic corporate transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, and investments. I work with clients across industries, with a particular focus in the technology, healthcare, and consumer verticals.

    Private Equity

    For my entire career, I have represented private equity funds in the acquisition and disposition of their portfolio companies. While the company is being held by the private equity fund, I work with management to resolve their day-to-day legal issues as they arise, with an ultimate view to preparing the company for disposition by the fund.

    Looking ahead

    Complexity in transactions will continue to rise. Almost all transactions now have international elements to them, whether representing an entity with foreign operations, a U.S. business seeking to make an acquisition abroad or a foreign investor seeking to deploy capital in the U.S. All of this is in a rising tide of uncertainty. Excellent counsel can provide practical legal strategies for managing these complexities.
