full bio

My practice focuses on advising clients on a wide range of public offerings, M&A and other significant corporate transactions around the world. I have advised on 250+ capital markets offerings in my career. I am frequent public speaker on matters relating to public offerings and other topics relevant to private and public companies. I am often quoted by news sources and industry journals as a leading authority on IPOs, including The American Lawyer, Law360, Reuters, Investor’s Business Daily, BBC News, BusinessDesk, The Deal, Financial Times, Directorship, Social Cloudcast, Zimbio, Technology Spectator and Business Spectator. I have also been “recommended” by The Legal 500 for Capital Markets: Equity Offerings – both for advice to Issuers and Managers. And I was profiled by Law360 for pricing two IPOs on the same day.
