Lucy W. Reckseit Email & Phone Number

I have extensive experience counseling mid-stage and late-stage companies; and, pioneered, back in 1998, the "fractional" or part-time general counsel model, which has been adopted by many companies to meet their in-house legal needs. After receiving my law degree from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, I clerked for the Honorable Joseph W. Hatchett in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. In 1988, I joined Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison’s general corporate and securities practice in Palo Alto. After four years of large law firm training, I went on to serve for over seven years as Vice President, Legal Affairs for Merit Behavioral Care Corporation. When the company was acquired by Magellan Health Services in 1998, I created my fractional general counsel business model. I am generally brought into a private company by the investors or by the company's outside counsel to manage the consumption of legal services. Specialties: general corporate law, including, among other services, strategic planning, financings, contract negotiation and drafting, licensing in and out, corporate governance, conflict resolution, settlement negotiations and litigation management.
