Partner at Goodwin

I am a partner at Goodwin Procter LLP, where my practice focuses on representing fast-growing emerging technology companies and the entrepreneurs who build them. Over the course of my legal career, I have advised scores of entrepreneurs, helped build hundreds of startups and been involved in financing transactions with an aggregate value of tens of billions of dollars. I have a broad range of experience in venture capital financings and corporate matters, including counseling founders in starting new businesses, capitalization structures, fundraising, strategic issues, negotiations with investors and acquirers and other legal matters. I have worked for technology companies across a spectrum of industries including fintech, climate tech, artificial intelligence, SaaS, robotics, IoT, security, crypto, deep tech and digital health. I have represented hundreds of private companies and venture capital investors in venture capital financings, including transactions led by Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, Andreessen Horowitz, New Enterprise Associates, Menlo Ventures, Draper Fisher Jurvetson and Norwest Venture Partners. In addition, my corporate experience includes transactions involving Autodesk, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Skype, Tesla and Slack. I regularly give presentations on startup issues and venture capital financings for various programs at the University of California, Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Dartmouth and at startup community events, such as for AngelPad, 500 Startups, Venture University and LAUNCH. I have represented disabled veterans before the Board of Veterans Appeals and in various U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs adjudicatory processes on a pro bono basis. I speak conversational Swedish.
