I advise with respect to important transactional events such as equity and debt financings, acquisitions, business transitions and exit events and guide my clients through the day-to-day challenges that must be met to ensure their success, such as structuring and negotiating domestic and international development and manufacturing agreements, services agreements, intellectual property licenses and distribution, reseller and OEM agreements.

My goal is to maximize the value of the services I provide by helping clients to efficiently realize their business objectives.I leverage my background in engineering to better understand my clients’ products and services and to ensure that each business transaction is structured with proper attention to the particular needs of the technology at hand.Publication: "Private Equity: What Counts and What Doesn't" (co-authored with Joseph W.
