Aaron Binstock

What I do:
I work with companies and investors – including management teams, PE funds and strategic acquirors – on buying, scaling and selling businesses. My job is to make a complex process feel clear and manageable while focusing on outcomes that are important to you.

What my clients value:
By speaking the language of founders, boards and investors alike, I bridge perspectives, so deals stay focused and collaborative.

Why Cooley:
We’re not just lawyers, we’re business partners. We get to know and understand your business so that we can work with you, not just for you. We think like our clients think.

Some of my clients:
Capitol Meridian Partners, Chemistry Communications, Parry Labs, People Inc. (formerly Dotdash Meredith) and Razor’s Edge Ventures, among others.

Likes:
Watching Pittsburgh sports teams, skiing, mountain biking and spending time with my wife and children
