What I do

I’m a business lawyer practicing in San Diego, California.  For most of the last 14 years I have worked with young and growing companies involved in technology-based transactions with customers, vendors and business partners.

Often these transactions involve basic technology licensing and other terms related to a basic commercial transaction.  However, in many cases, these transactions are related to other business events, such as a corporate investment or joint development effort, or some kind of strategic business alliance.  I have worked on a lot of different types of deals with clients in various industries.

This is a challenging type of practice because of the host of factors that can vary from one transaction to the next.  In addition, it is fun and satisfying to work with dynamic companies that bring new and innovative solutions to their customers.

In addition to commercial transactions, I also have the opportunity to assist my clients with a range of other corporate and business matters.  For example, I get involved with completing business investment and financing, formation and organization, stock option plans, corporate governance and other matters that come along that relate to the health and well being of the business.  If a particular matter comes along that is outside of my expertise, I work with other attorneys that assist my client or I tap into valuable relationships that I have developed over the years with great lawyers that have the right expertise.

I thought it might be interesting to use this forum to write about developments and concepts that affect my clients and similar companies.
