Craig M. Kaiser

For 30 plus years I have counselled executives at public and private companies in industries including technology, manufacturing, logistics, energy services, technology, and medical devices. I have spent a career providing legal service in close alignment with my clients, both in development of strategy and execution of daily legal matters. I am a quick study of business models and how the legal function can add value there.  My greatest sense of accomplishment in working with clients to help them reach and exceed their objectives.

I have served on the Management Committee of a regional law firm, performed as Managing Director for Outsourced Legal Services at Morae Legal, Associate General Counsel of Compaq Computer Corporation, where I served on the management team of the General Counsel, as well as those of the Senior Vice President of Supply Chain Management and the Senior Vice President of Consumer Products in a multi-billion dollar organization. I began my career as an Associate in the Commercial Litigation Group at the law firm of Bracewell.

My clients come from a wide range of industries and I have worked on a variety of corporate transactional and commercial negotiations, ranging from complex licensing, development and sales transactions to purchasing and logistics agreements, to asset and equity purchase and sale agreements. I have also advised clients on compliance with a broad range of applicable laws and regulations, including working through legal requirements internationally. My experience managing corporate governance matters includes all interactions with the Board of Directors and implementing policies and procedures.

I am happily married to my wife, Janet, with whom I have raised three children. I enjoy biking, running and swimming for exercise and am an avid sports fan.
