In General

I am proud of my tradition of working with start-ups, and my expertise in new technologies, new media and e-commerce. The nature of my representation in the Internet, new media, e-commerce, and technology markets is varied. I provide strategic legal counsel to start-ups and the emerging growth companies (Internet, new media, electronic commerce, and other high technology companies). My office is committed to the particular needs of its emerging growth clients, and I help such clients develop and refine their business models, set up optimal legal and capital structures, coordinate employment and employee compensation and benefit arrangements, identify and protect their intellectual property and, where possible and appropriate, arrange introductions to providers of capital.

Entity Formation

I have assisted both principals and investors in forming corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies (LLC), and joint ventures. I have also helped them create and document a capital structure and appropriate governance arrangement among the investors. Protecting the interests of my client, whether it is an individual or a company is a primary goal.

Corporate Finance - Private Placements and Venture Capital

 I assist clients in anticipating, assembling, and presenting the type of information that private "angel" investors and venture capitalists, and other financing sources require before evaluating a client's needs and prospects. I have also assisted my clients with structuring and negotiating private placements of debt and equity.

Technology Licensing and Distribution

The office's technology licensing and distribution practice involves the areas of proprietary rights protection, licensing, and product distribution. I negotiate and document a wide variety of transactions involving technology and intellectual property rights, including the licensing, sale, distribution and development of computer hardware and software, content, and related copyrights and trademarks. This generally involves advising clients on the appropriate business structures and distribution techniques, as well as the preparation of a wide array of distribution, licensing, sale representative, OEM, and agency arrangements.
