About Brian

General Counsel for Investors & Emerging Companies

I help investors, founders, and innovative companies structure, close financings, navigate governance, operate, and execute M&A without unnecessary legal costs and obstacles.

My work includes navigating and executing legal decisions in key business areas, including: structuring, formation, onboarding, and separations/exit; raising and investing capital from pre-seed to late growth, including economic, minority, strategic investments, and recaps; company, stockholder, board, and other stakeholder governance; portfolio company matters and company operations; and M&A transactions for buyers and sellers.

Clients engage me when they need a lawyer who can quickly understand business objectives, develop clear practical strategies, and drive execution efficiently while strengthening relationships.

I serve as general counsel and deal counsel to innovative companies, founders, angels, venture capital, corporate investors, PE, family offices, and strategic investors. I advise clients from industries including technology, software, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, cybersecurity, fintech, retail, finance, and healthcare.
