Cooley LLP stands out as a premier choice for emerging companies and investors across the start-up lifecycle. The firm has expanded its tech and venture capital capabilities with the opening of its Miami office in November 2023, led by Derek Colla, offering enhanced support to Latin American companies and investors. Co-head of the practice, San Francisco-based Peter Werner counsels high-growth entities and their investors on formation, financing, and securities deals. Also leading the team from San Francisco, Matt Bartus is celebrated for his ‘decades of experience’ assisting companies from their initial stages to pre-IPO. Mark Tanoury, located in Palo Alto, is known for guiding Silicon Valley emerging tech companies and venture capital investors through all stages of their development. Sale Kwon, also in Palo Alto, specializes in company formations, venture financings, and mergers and acquisitions. Rachel Proffitt, in San Francisco, offers advice to emerging clients, venture capital companies, and investment banks on venture capital transactions and securities offerings, while New York’s Adam Dinow is noted for his work with tech unicorns.
