What I do:
I advise life science, software and other emerging technology companies on venture debt, credit agreements, warrants and equipment leases. I also work with banks, asset-based lenders and debt funds on term and revolving facilities with technology companies.

Why Cooley?
Some law firms say “team” and don’t mean it. Our clients know that concept is at the core of what we do together.

Some of my clients:
Silicon Valley Bank, Comerica Bank, First Republic Bank, City National Bank, Bridge Bank, AvidBank, Heritage Bank, EastWest Bank, Northern Trust, Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Wellington Capital, Agility Capital, Montage Capital, Eastward Capital
