I have helped companies and private equity firms handle over $5 billion of merger, acquisition and disposition transactions. Additionally, I have represented issuers and underwriters in more than 25 IPOs and follow-on public offerings involving companies in the technology, life sciences and consumer sectors, including leading investment banks such as Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley and Oppenheimer.
