Hi there. It’s official! A new voice is in the mix on CapitalXchange. I’m a newbie to Team Cooley, but not a newbie to the capital markets and corporate governance scene. Some of you might know me from TheCorporateCounsel.net, where I’ve been blogging and wearing various other hats for nearly a decade. I’ve also spent many years in private practice, advising public and private companies on capital raising endeavors and all sorts of securities law and corporate governance issues.
All that to say, I like helping people make sense of regulations and market shifts, and with Cooley being at the forefront of deal activity and innovative solutions, I’m excited to share “lessons learned” from the heart of the action. Subscribe to the blog for updates on market and industry trends, rule changes, practice pointers and – as you know from the title – the exchange of information and ideas on all things “capital markets.”
Even though I’ve known and admired many Cooley lawyers for years, my new colleagues have already surpassed my expectations in terms of deal volume, expertise and – I’ll say it – personality. After I joined the firm, an in-house friend – who has no shortage of fun life experiences – told me that his nights working through an IPO with Cooley were in his “top 5” of fun memories. That’s not something you hear every day!
I’m also thrilled to return to working alongside my friend and mentor Broc Romanek, the “OG” securities law blogger and people-connector, who persuaded me to take a leap so many years ago and continues to this day to blaze a trail for himself and everyone in his vicinity.
If you have topics that you want to see discussed in this blog, feedback on issues we’ve covered or questions about what types of deals Team Cooley is working on, feel free to reach out to me any time! You can find me at ldunshee@cooley.com.
