In addition, I counsel clients on antitrust and distribution business services, private capital and emerging companies, technology and licensing agreements and general business law, including corporate governance. I regularly counsel both public and private companies on antitrust compliance issues under the Sherman Act, Clayton Act, Federal Trade Commission Act and applicable state laws, such as distribution, dealer, exclusivity and supplier issues, price discrimination, discounts, rebates, minimum advertised price policies and most favored nations pricing issues, Hart-Scott-Rodino Act filings, internal audits, trade associations, tying, monopolization and other antitrust compliance issues. I also counsel businesses on compliance and ethics, as companies are increasingly subject to fines and criminal liability. I identify risks, perform risk assessments and create and revise compliance programs. Supporting growing businesses, I also guide companies in corporate formation and funding. I negotiate shareholders’ agreements, operating agreements and credit facilities and routinely advise on a wide array of antitrust, distribution and commercial contracting issues. I have a wide variety of corporate contract experience and have served as counsel to professional sports franchises and other businesses with respect to drafting and negotiating sponsorship and promotional rights agreements, license agreements and related commercial agreements.
