What I do:
I counsel founders and businesses with an appetite for fast and flexible growth – often as outside general counsel – with a focus on establishing governance structures for financings and liquidity events. I use my experience to provide market knowledge on terms, strategies and best practices for navigating the challenges businesses face in their growth. I also work extensively with investors on financing these businesses.
Why Cooley:
We are not a transactional law firm; we build relationships with founders and entrepreneurs and are invested in the development of their businesses – from ideas to exits. We are built around working with high-growth companies and can fulfil our clients’ needs at every stage of the corporate life cycle.
What my clients value:
My market knowledge, understanding of their needs and pragmatic solutions.
