We leverage over a decade of multinational expertise in securities, initial offerings, technology law, crowdfunding, corporate law and digital regulation to advise companies at the crossroads of venture capital and entrepreneurship.

We partner with executive teams to develop creative legal and marketplace solutions that tap our unique skill sets as well as our broad network of legal, technology, and financial experts.
“I had the opportunity to work with Robb recently on the implementation of lean startup meets cleantech, (Cleanweb) weekend. Robb was very diligent and thorough in his preparations for the event. He secured great sponsors, helped attract a diverse audience and led with humility. I look forward to a future collaboration with him in the cleantech/lean startup arena.”
