I advise technology companies, startups, founders, and growing businesses on the legal and commercial issues that arise from formation through growth—including commercial transactions, intellectual property strategy, financing, strategic relationships, negotiations, and disputes.
Commercial Agreements
I advise on the structuring, drafting, and negotiation of commercial agreements involving technology, products, services, and strategic relationships. This includes technology and IP licenses, development and collaboration agreements, customer and vendor contracts, SaaS and software agreements, procurement agreements, NDAs, and other commercial arrangements.
Startups & Corporate
I work with founders and growing companies on formation, founder arrangements, governance, equity matters, commercial strategy, and the legal issues that arise as companies develop. I can also provide ongoing outside general counsel support, helping businesses address legal matters without the need for a full-time in-house legal function.
Intellectual Property
I help companies develop practical intellectual property strategies aligned with their technology and business objectives, including ownership and licensing issues, technology development arrangements, trade secret protection, patent-related commercial matters, and IP considerations in strategic transactions.
Funding & Strategic Transactions
I advise companies and founders on early-stage financings, due diligence, investor agreements, strategic investments, partnerships, and other transactions involving growth, investment, or commercialization.
Negotiations
I represent clients in complex commercial negotiations where legal, technical, and business considerations intersect. My role can range from developing negotiation strategy and deal structure to leading negotiations directly.
Disputes & Pre-Litigation
I advise on contract and intellectual-property disputes before litigation, including evaluating claims and defenses, preparing and responding to demand letters, developing settlement strategy, and negotiating business resolutions.
