About

I've worked both in-house and in firms and have seen countless commercial agreements and technology deals from every angle. I've been in-house as counsel for high-growth, VC-backed startups, IT solutions providers and cybersecurity companies and I've also been at an AmLaw Top 50 global firm; I've represented purchasers and creators of technology across the globe.
