I'm an Emerging Companies (Tech & CPG) specialized Corporate and Venture Capital Lawyer representing top-tier pre-seed through Series C+ stage startups nationally and internationally for over a decade. My focus is formations, angel and venture capital financings, board governance, and liquidity/exits, while helping clients receive "full service" via our curated network of elite boutique specialist attorneys. My clients have raised from top VCs, including a16z, Sequoia, Khosla, Y Combinator, Tiger Global, Susa, and others. I also work closely with founding teams and boards as they achieve liquidity and exit on transactions led by M&A colleagues. In addition to my legal practice, I serve as a legal CTO; leveraging technology and creative business processes to (i) deliver emerging companies scalable, world class corporate and commercial counsel without the unnecessary overhead of traditional law firms, and (ii) ensure top-tier attorneys' billings aren't burned to feed a bloated law firm bureaucracy. We allow Corporate & M&A lawyers to build elite legal practices, at rates dramatically leaner than "BigLaw," and with competitive compensation that still affords work-life balance.Silicon Hills Lawyer, my internationally-followed VC law blog, is structured for early-stage founders to educate themselves on strategic legal and finance issues. It's written from the perspective of a VC lawyer without the usual conflicts of interest with various parts of the venture capital/investor community, which often biases the advice they give. The goal of SHL is to help founders avoid mistakes, and keep "the money" honest.X fka Twitter: @ancerjBlog: Silicon Hills Lawyer
