Steve is primarily a corporate transactional lawyer, advising and assisting middle market and development stage companies in structuring and executing acquisitions and divestitures, joint ventures and strategic alliances, private equity and debt financings (as both issuer and investor counsel), technology licensing and transfers, employment matters and compensation issues and leasing transactions. As a result, his practice typically involves providing general legal, business and strategic counseling for clients across a broad spectrum of industries and matters.

Steve’s clients include internet content providers, direct to consumer marketing companies, manufacturers, craft breweries, equipment lessors, service providers, venture capital investors and entrepreneurs. He often advises start-up founders and investors on entity formation and structure, corporate governance, management and financing. In recent years, Steve has counseled several start-up companies that are at the forefront of the “new media” revolution on issues concerning organizational matters, financing and intellectual property protection and exploitation.
