Services
I work with my clients’ management and business development teams to plan, draft, negotiate and close all manner of business and commercial technology related agreements, documents and relationships whether local, national or international in scope. As a seasoned negotiator I assist with both day-to-day as well as large, complex and strategic transactions.
My clients include Canadian and U.S. start-up, post-IPO and large public technology companies engaged chiefly in the information technology, video game, Internet, e-commerce and life sciences industries. I assist technology creators with initial business formation, business development, strategic partnerships and product/services sales, distribution & licensing. On the other side, I assist a wide variety of clients in the acquisition and licensing of technology-related, products and services.
