/My focus

Mergers and Acquisitions

Throughout my career, I have advised a wide range of M&A clients, both strategic and financial, in acquisitions and divestitures that they are considering, with purchase prices ranging from very modest valuations to billions of dollars. In a recent transaction, I helped our public-company client carve-out and sell a business line to a private equity-backed acquirer for $900 million.

I represent clients in a variety of industries, with a particular emphasis on sports, food and beverage, healthcare, and security services. In each transaction, I manage my NP team from the beginning of the deal to the closing, while always focusing on my clients’ business objectives.

Private Equity and Family Office

I represent private equity investors and family office clients in a variety of transactions, including managing corporate matters and exit and investment transactions.

General Corporate Work 

On an ongoing basis, I serve as outside general counsel for early- to late-stage companies, which includes assisting with corporate formation and governance items, executive and incentive compensation, commercial agreements, and other ongoing general corporate matters.

Sports

I partner with clients in the sports industry on strategic transactions and capital raising initiatives, including fund formation, investment structuring, and financing across the capital stack. My work spans governance and regulatory matters, investor engagement, and deal negotiation to support growth, value creation, and expansion across the broader sports ecosystem.

Sports have always been a central part of my life, which makes the intersection of sports and private equity especially appealing to me. Both professional and college sports continue to present compelling opportunities, but capitalizing on them requires thoughtful strategic planning and a deep understanding of the sports industry’s unique dynamics.

/Looking ahead

I expect to see private equity investment in sports continue to surge in 2026, driven by escalating franchise valuations, global expansion of leagues, and the continued monetization of streaming and media rights. Institutional capital will play a larger role in shaping ownership models, while innovative deal structures—such as minority stakes and joint ventures—open new pathways for investors. At the same time, the rapid professionalization of college athletics through NIL platforms, conference realignment, and private capital-backed infrastructure will create a new frontier for sports investors. Sports will evolve into a dynamic asset class, blending traditional investment with emerging technology and fan engagement opportunities.
