Career
David Toy is a veteran deal lawyer, with particular emphasis in technology, intellectual property, and commercial issues. He’s known for getting deals done and for his ability to effectively communicate to clients the risks of a deal at any stage of the contracting process. David has an effective and personable negotiating style that is appreciated by his clients.
David’s practice uniquely combines his transactional skill set with a vast understanding of technology and intellectual property. In addition, he has broad experience with general commercial issues. Whether tackling the entire deal or just the technology, intellectual property, or commercial issues in a larger project, David can get the deal done efficiently and effectively.
David’s deep experience negotiating deals from both buyer and vendor perspectives, domestically and internationally, and with clients ranging from startups to Fortune 100 companies provides invaluable background for a range of negotiating positions and counterproposals. He has an industry “agnostic” practice, given his vast dealings in computers and internet, entertainment and cinema, health care, food and beverage, telecommunications, and energy sectors, among other industries. He can advise on what positions are “market” in any deal and develop different resolutions to fit specific client needs.
David especially enjoys the negotiating process. Clients see him shine when he responds to concerns raised by opposing parties and offers innovative solutions.
Before he became a lawyer, David was a seasoned journalist. His background with the written word translates effectively into his practice. He exercises great skill in writing or revising a contract to clearly and efficiently reflect a business deal. David is skilled at taking a measured approach when reviewing a counterparty’s documents, effectively identifying and addressing material issues without getting bogged down in over-drafting.
David has a demonstrated commitment to the local start-up and entrepreneurial community. For over a decade, he’s been a clinical adviser to the Entrepreneurial Law Clinic at the University of Colorado Law School and assists law students who represent startup companies.
