Deal Lawyer | Creator of the "Knowing Something" M&A in a Minute ⏰ Series | Tennis, Reading, Fitness, and Air Force 1s 👟

I’m a mergers and acquisitions (M&A) lawyer with the global law firm K&L Gates. My approach to M&A is to partner with my clients to get their most significant and complex deals done quickly and cost efficiently. 

To do that, I provide creative and actionable legal advice—while having fun along the way too! 

I’ve been doing M&A and advising companies, management teams, and directors for almost 25 years and I love my work, my awesome teammates, and my valued clients—after all, you’re the reason I get to do what I do every day! 

My work involves advising global public and private companies, boards of directors, special committees, and senior management in connection with their most significant and challenging matters, including mergers and acquisitions, capital markets transactions, activist planning and defense, and corporate governance matters.

My clients include a broad range of nationally and internationally recognized public and private companies, as well as financial investors and investment banking firms. 

Although I focus heavily on tech deals, my clients are located around the world and are active in a range of industries, including mobile communications, renewable energy, sports and broadcasting, chemicals, emerging technology, financial services, software, manufacturing and metals, education, robotics, information technology, media, and life sciences.

I talk and write about all kinds of corporate law topics, including mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, venture capital, and corporate governance. I was also a long-time contributing author to the Lexis-Nexis Securities Practice Guide.

I’m a founding faculty member of my firm’s mini-MBA program, an innovative professional development training program designed to orient law firm associates and in-house legal teams to key business and corporate finance concepts that are critical to business success.

Last, but definitely not least, I’m the creator of the “Knowing Something” M&A in a Minute ⏰ series here on LinkedIn. 

If you would like to know more about me and the way I think about deals, follow me on LinkedIn and let’s connect. 

I’m always excited to meet new people who are doing great things. 

So reach out and say hi…I promise you won’t get a bill!
