    A highly experienced and entrepreneurial lawyer, I work primarily with business owners and founders in connection with mergers and acquisitions, securities law and contracts. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, finished in the top 7% of my law school class, where I graduated with honors and was selected as a Managing Editor of the Law Review, worked as a law clerk for a federal judge where I drafted opinions for the judge's review and briefed the judge on applicable law, and I was trained at Ballard Spahr and Morgan Lewis, two of the largest law firms in the United States. I also acquired, built and sold dozens of businesses, exposing me to corporate and securities law from a real world, entrepreneurial perspective. I did most of the contractual, M&A, tax planning, employment law and other legal work myself for my own companies because I love practicing law. I thoroughly enjoy working with business owners and their management teams to craft efficient and creative solutions to legal challenges. That's why I returned to the full-time practice of law after building and selling a number of successful businesses. I’m now seeking creative ways to build a practice that fits into my lifestyle, and that requires primarily working remotely. Upwork is an ideal platform for me to connect with innovative business owners, corporations and law firms seeking top-notch legal work that leverages technology to meet both my objectives and and my clients' goals as well. I have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions, tax planning (I also have an LL.M. in Taxation from NYU), employment law, corporate formation and governance. I've helped many clients comply with securities law issues in connection with raising capital through private placements and crowdfunding transactions. NEED HELP WITH A BUSINESS LAW CHALLENGE? DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME FOR: √ Letters of Intent √ Private Placement Memos √ Subscription Agreements √ Reg D Filings / Private Placements √ Regulation Crowdfunding Compliance √ Securities law compliance including Reg A+, Reg D, Reg CF, Reg S √ Operating Agreements √ Partnership Agreements √ Employment Agreements √ Independent Contractor Agreements √ NDAs and Confidentiality Agreements √ Website terms and conditions and privacy policies √ Asset purchase agreements, stock purchase agreements, mergers and acquisitions √ Copyright issues √ Trademark issues √ Employment discrimination, overtime and other employment issues √ Appellate briefs √ Motions and a supporting memorandum of law √ Any other legal issues requiring experienced, realistic and actionable advice. I look forward to hearing from you, and to the prospect of working together in the near future. Sincerely, Barry

    ✓ Experienced Silicon Valley software executive, founder and technologist ✓ 6 co-founder roles in venture-funded startups and 4 substantial exits ✓ Experience with bootstrap, angel and venture funding. Every new venture's journey is different, but the patterns and best practices repeat. Working with a startup advisor and executive coach will shorten your time to success, avoid wasted effort and accelerate your learnings. A small investment near the beginning of a project can have a huge impact on its trajectory and eventual success. Any directional decisions you make about your business, product and technology should be informed by a full understanding of your market and trends, and by an understanding of what works and why. In many business situations, experience is worth its weight in gold. Using agile processes, I work with founders and founding teams to create, evaluate and refine: Market Opportunity: identification, scoping and validation Product Strategy: ideation, needs analysis, competitive & partner landscape, prototyping, primary and secondary research and development Business Plan: multidimensional analysis, work breakdown, stage gate milestones Financial Strategy: pro forma modeling, monetization. debt and fundraising Pitch Development: targets, positioning, messaging, variants and testing Business Development: partnerships, channels, licensing, acquisitions Team: co-founders, stage appropriate executive staff, consultants, sensitivity and diversity in hiring, including headcount planning, sourcing, interviewing, nurturing and separating from team mates Software Technology: cloud, mobile and legacy architectures, AI/ML, tools and platforms, cloud services, user experience Marketing and Market Entry Strategies: segmenting and targeting early adopters, product-led marketing, digital and content marketing, word of mouth/net promoter scoring, organic and viral growth engines, brand development Legal: business formation and structure, contracts including funding, indemnification, compensation and options, trademark and patent IP protection Customer Success: self-service and online support, user communities, app instrumentation and analytics I work in close partnership with founders and founding teams and so can only work with a limited number of companies at any one time. My role is to help in both your professional and personal journey so complementary interpersonal style and chemistry is important to the process. My suggested approach is to have a short conversation about your project and see if there is a good fit.
