Representative Experience
-
Private Security Offerings Plus
-
Represented an environmental technology company in a seven-figure Series Seed funding round and subsequent note offerings. Our work included preparation of all documents, term sheets, sale agreements, shareholder agreements, and data rooms for due diligence. These financing events were unique because they involved a number of overseas parties which required additional regulatory analysis to ensure compliance.

-
Mergers & Acquisitions Plus
-
Advised an ecommerce company in the acquisition of a majority interest in another ecommerce business with a strong influencer-driven brand. This high-value, fast-paced transaction was closed in under three weeks, despite a level of complexity typically requiring several months. The integration will allow our client to streamline online consumer purchasing using proprietary technology.
-
Represented a workplace furniture and interior design firm in its seven-figure acquisition of an office furniture distributor. The deal enabled the client’s strategic expansion into Southern California and was completed under a tight timeline with extensive negotiation.
-
Represented a leading building information modelling service provider in a sell-side acquisition that involved very complex accounting issues due to the unconventional and technical nature of the asset. The buyer was a private equity-backed organization whose interests in our client required expedited due diligence, negotiations, and closing.
