When a Deal is Moving
Structure Becomes Strategy
Transactional counsel for closely held businesses, founders, and investors.
For founders and owners navigating sales, buyouts, restructurings, and control shifts.
This Is a Fit If:
You’re forming a business with partners (and want the roles and economics documented cleanly)
You’re bringing in investors or outside capital (SAFE, note, or priced round)
You’re buying or selling a business
You’re restructuring ownership or control (new partner, buyout, recap)
Money or equity needs to move on a real timeline (signing, closing, or a financing deadline)
Common Deal Moments:
These are the situations where structure tends to matter most—not because they’re complicated, but because there’s real capital, ownership, and decision-making on the line.
• Founder restructurings (bringing in a new partner, rebalancing equity, cleaning up early decisions)
• Investor entry (SAFE, note, or priced round)
• Equity compensation and option grants (setting incentives without breaking the cap table)
• Closely held buy/sell transactions (one owner exiting, another stepping in)
• Governance, governance clean-ups and amendments (operating agreements, consents, approval mechanics)
• Preparing for diligence (ahead of a raise or a sale)

Why Structure Is the Work
Good structure doesn’t slow a deal down — it clears the runway. When terms are organized and the documents reflect the actual deal, transactions move from LOI to close with far less friction.
The work isn’t adding complexity. It’s making sure ownership, economics, and control are aligned early— so the deal can move forward with confidence when things matter most.
Most matters begin with a short call to assess timing, leverage, and structure before documents enter the picture.
