I am a corporate and securities attorney in Nashville, Tennessee. I represent investment advisers, private equity funds, venture capital funds, hedge funds, real estate partnership syndicators, securities brokers, and other entities with regard to private offerings of securities and complex federal and state securities regulatory matters. I also work extensively with technology companies, including startups and emerging growth companies, as well as businesses in other industries, providing legal counsel on company formation, mergers and acquisitions, technology transactions, corporate governance, equity compensation, and debt and equity financings. Many businesses look to me as their outside “general counsel” for day-to-day legal needs as well as their trusted adviser on high-stakes transactions, such as capital raising, partnership buyouts and disputes, technology transactions, and mergers and acquisitions. My first goal is to provide clients with responsive service and candid and decisive legal advice for the difficult choices they often face.
