Alessandra (Ali) Murata

What I do:
I advise high-growth companies and their investors on all things compensation and benefits – from creating equity incentive plans to navigating tax, securities and other rules that impact how key contributors get paid.

Why Cooley?
I joined Cooley because its collaborative, innovative culture lets me pair cutting-edge company building with practical compensation solutions.

What my clients value:
Clients tell me they appreciate clear, actionable guidance that balances market practice with each company’s stage and the exponential learning that comes from long-term client-counsel relationships, “from seed to IPO” and beyond.

Likes:
Traveling, handmaking cards to help family and friends celebrate special occasions, golf, Pilates and tennis. Always on the lookout – feel free to share your favorite travel tips and new restaurants (my Cornell Hotel School roots still show).

Great reads:
Any and all things executive compensation related, and a growing stack of book club reads that I’ll eventually get around to reading!
