John loves practicing law. He’s practiced for over 35 years, beginning on Wall Street, and brings a level of authenticity to his work that strengthens relationships, not only with his own clients but also with parties on the other side of transactions. His clients value the perspective he brings to the table, which is often a recognition of the actual dynamics at play, sometimes different than the stated or apparent interests or objectives of the parties. Whether in the context of general advisory services or transactions, John’s commitment, attentiveness, perspective, and assertiveness often makes him an integral part of client management teams.
John has vast experience in a multitude of transactional, business, and corporate practice areas, including the following:
• Bankruptcy, Workouts and Debtor/Creditor Law
• Business Formation, Structuring and Joint Ventures
• Business Succession Planning
• Commercial Lending
• Closely Held Businesses
• Corporate Finance and Capital Raising
• Corporate Governance
• Employment and Executive Compensation and Severance
• Entrepreneurs and Emerging Businesses
• Family-Owned Businesses and Succession Planning
• Food and Hospitality, Restaurants, Food Trucks
• Intellectual Property and Licensing
• Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)
When John is not advising clients, he is relaxing with loved ones, listening to the Grateful Dead, or playing disc golf, surfing or basketball. He particularly enjoys doing all of that on the East End of Long Island, where his family has a home.
