He has assisted clients with numerous mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings, venture capital, and private equity transactions, across a variety of industries.

As co-founder of the firm’s Venture Best emerging technology practice, Greg works with both early-stage companies and investors and as a result has the ability to efficiently arrive at solutions that serve his clients’ interests.
