Brian Teras Bio

Brian is a partner in the Corporate & Securities practice. He works with clients to structure, negotiate, and complete mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, licenses, collaboration agreements, and joint ventures, with a focus on advancing their strategic and operational goals. Additionally, Brian advises public and private companies on securities, corporate finance, and corporate governance matters. As a trusted advisor, Brian supports clients through SEC reporting and compliance and guides issuers in securities and corporate finance transactions, including registered and private offerings (including Reg D, Rule 144A and Reg A+ offerings). He also advises sponsors of private equity funds, credit and debt funds, venture capital funds, and co-investment funds in fund formation matters, and represents institutional investors in evaluating and participating in a wide range of investment funds. Drawing from his experience as in-house counsel for an Atlanta-based publicly traded life sciences company, Brian provides clients with a business-oriented, pragmatic perspective — particularly those in the healthcare and life sciences sector. A significant portion of his practice involves advising companies and investors in this space in transactions at all stages of the corporate life cycle, with an acute understanding of their specific needs and challenges.
