I am a corporate and securities attorney who represents emerging growth companies and the investors who invest in such companies. I serve as the global co-chair of the DLA Piper’s technology sector, the chair of DLA Piper’s Northwest emerging growth and venture capital practice, and the managing partner of DLA Piper’s Seattle office. My practice focuses on securities offerings, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and general corporate law. My clients are individual entrepreneurs, early stage, venture-backed and public companies and venture capital investors. I have assisted my clients in closing hundreds of seed/venture financings and M&A transactions and numerous initial and secondary public offerings. I enjoy helping startup companies navigate their way into successful enterprises.
