Introduction
My focus
Corporate Transactions
I counsel public and private companies of all sizes in a variety of industries in connection with corporate transactions, such as mergers and acquisitions, capital financings, due diligence, corporate governance, and investment-related transactions. I represent buyers and sellers in strategic corporate transactions from start to finish. I also advise clients on general corporate matters and have experience representing both private and public companies in the renewable energy industry in connection with financings, commercial transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and partnership/joint ventures.
Looking ahead
I believe mergers and acquisitions will play an increasingly important role in corporate strategies, and there will be a landscape for investors to generate healthy returns in today’s marketplace.
