I am a partner in Spencer Fane’s Business Transactions practice group focusing primarily on outside corporate counsel services and mergers and acquisitions. My clients include private and public companies; family offices, private equity firms, and their portfolio companies; and startups, search funds, and high-growth companies, for which I’ve handled billions of dollars of transactions.Acting as lead counsel for clients on over 100 multimillion-dollar acquisitions, I have significant experience counseling clients through all stages and types of mergers and acquisitions across a wide range of industries. Leveraging this experience and my team at the firm, I regularly handle dozens of deals for highly acquisitive businesses at any time.As outside counsel to companies and business owners, I provide holistic, practical, and cost-effective approaches to accomplishing my clients’ goals. I counsel on a wide range of business matters, including commercial, finance, and real estate transactions; mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings; securities and capital raises; and corporate governance and compliance.I have substantial experience in the Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) space, which offers aspiring entrepreneurs a unique opportunity to acquire and grow an existing business or series of businesses rather than starting a business from scratch. I would encourage those interested in the ETA space to check out my bio on my firm's website and to note the robust experiences and testimonials that clients have shared about me and my team.
