Venture capital lawyer | Jun 19

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Steve is a terrific lawyer. Since the late 90s, I've worked opposite him on deals as well as with him numerous times. He's got a great ability to get to the core business and legal issues quickly. He will often come up with a creative solution to get past what had been an impasse in a transaction. With his tax and securities knowledge, and deep understanding of investment entities of all sorts (venture capital funds, REITs, etc.), he's an incredible resource for investors as well as companies raising funds/doing deals."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
