Chair Of The Corporate Department
CurrentI am a transactional attorney practicing in the areas of venture capital, private equity and debt transactions, mergers and acquisitions and general corporate matters. My practice involves the representation of Fortune 500 companies, private equity funds, emerging companies and investment banks in structuring, negotiating and documenting seed through later stage equity and debt investments, mezzanine financings, syndicated credit facilities, mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures, buyouts, rollup strategies, intellectual property transactions, work-outs and financial restructurings and general corporate matters. I work with companies in a broad range of industries including biotech and life sciences, financial services, insurance, media, software and telecommunications. I also represent public and private clients in an “outside general counsel” capacity. I provide counseling on strategic initiatives (such as joint ventures, joint development projects and intellectual property licensing and collaboration), commercial contract matters (such as distribution and supply agreements, license agreements and employment agreements) and other general corporate matters (such as employment and severance matters, equity incentive plans, corporate governance, real estate matters and insurance matters). Prior to joining Shipman & Goodwin, I was a Partner in the Corporate Department of Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP.
