  Bradley McConnell is head of Fluet's Corporate + Transactional Practice Group. In addition to M&A and VC, Mr. McConnell’s practice includes a wide variety of transactional and corporate matters at all stages of company growth including: company formation, founder stock purchase and buy-sell agreements, debt financing, credit facilities, joint venture agreements, corporate restructuring, spin-offs and spin-outs, employment agreements, non-disclosure/proprietary information agreements, master services agreements, customer contracts, commercial leasing, technology licensing, and general corporate matters. Mr. McConnell’s more than 25 years of corporate practice – since his early days in the 1990s tech boom - has ranged across many industries, but he has particular expertise and interest working with technology-focused companies and those who invest in them – including companies that straddle the commercial and government contracting sectors. His deep experience working with emerging technology startups, venture financing, M&A deals and initial public offerings has provided him with insights on how to advise growing companies to not only navigate the transaction at hand, but lay a strong framework for the next possible stage of growth.
