Gesmer Updegrove LLP

Corporate

Partner

Peter Moldave gives you the license for your “secret weapon.” As a partner at Gesmer Updegrove, Peter’s practice focuses on software licensing transactions and corporate and securities law. His computer skills and expertise were honed while working for Apple Computer, Inc., where he handled federal securities law compliance and the legal aspects of corporate finance transactions and technology joint ventures.

He advises a wide variety of clients in the software industry, including emerging software companies in the internet and enterprise software area, investors in software companies, and individual executives, authors, and consultants, on issues including business formation, angel and venture capital financing, mergers and acquisitions, equity-based compensation, and software development, distribution, publishing, and licensing arrangements.

Peter is currently addicted to strong coffee and Chuckles. At home, Peter likes reading books and watching documentaries about the history of the first half of the 20th century, but often finds himself drawn into involuntary home-improvement projects. He is considering starting a museum of old cell phones, pagers, and similar devices using his own castoffs as the first installation.
