My practice is focused on representing public and private companies in a wide range of commercial transactions and strategic, business development, compliance and corporate governance matters. These include: * Initial public offering (IPO) preparation (based on first-hand knowledge from the company’s perspective)* Corporate governance assistance to General Counsels relating to the administration of the Board of Directors and the corporate secretary function* General counsel services, including assistance with compliance programs and training, risk management activities, business development, corporate policies and contracts management* Hands-on help in structuring, drafting and negotiating contracts and commercial agreements, such as licensing, supply, acquisition and financing agreements I offer flexible services tailored to fit each client’s needs, be it working as a trusted advisor supporting an overworked General Counsel, a team member helping a company with its plans to go public, or an outside general counsel providing practical solutions for start-ups and other companies without their own full-time GC. My long experience as an in-house lawyer has given me a deep familiarity with how companies really operate and how to work effectively with business people.
