ATTORNEY ADVERTISING If you're a startup CEO preparing for a financing round, a VC fund partner evaluating your next investment, or a company exploring an M&A deal — you need a lawyer who's been on both sides of the table. That's what I do. But more than that — most of my job comes down to getting people in different worlds to understand each other. Founders and investors. US companies and European partners. Startups looking for capital and funds looking for opportunity. I represent early-stage companies raising capital and the VC funds investing it. Often Seed through Series B — though my clients range all the way to publicly-traded companies across fintech, insurtech, proptech, AI, robotics, medicine, consumer platforms, manufacturing, and media. My practice at Reitler Kailas & Rosenblatt, which PitchBook ranks in the top 10 nationally, and which Chambers also ranks, for ECVC work, includes: → Venture capital financing rounds → Mergers and acquisitions → Fund formation → Corporate governance → Securities and capital markets → Employment and compensation → Licensing, lending, and commercial contracts I grew up in South Carolina, lived in Belgium as an exchange student, worked in Brussels and Paris, and have worked in New York City for most of the last 25 years. I currently serve on the board of the Harvard Law School Association of New York City and speak regularly at startup accelerators and to angel and VC investors. If you're a founder, fund partner, C-suite at a mid-market company or someone who connects the two — I'd welcome the conversation. P.S. I have a soft spot for dogs and the companies building products for them. If that's you, let's talk.885 Third Avenue, 20th Floor, New York, NY 10022, tel. 212-209-3072.
