Bio

Drawing from nearly two decades of experience practicing corporate law, Todd Thorson works with both private and public companies to advise on transactions and other non-litigation matters, and regularly serves as lead counsel in change-in-control (buy-side and sell-side) transactions. He works closely with company boards and senior management to provide systemic support on corporate governance initiatives, including fiduciary duty guidance, related party/interested director transactions and regulatory compliance. Notably, Todd counsels clients on corporate crisis matters, providing support and advice regarding events that threaten the organization as a whole, such as shareholder activism defense and responding to negative social media events. Todd also devotes a portion of his practice to working with multigenerational, family-owned businesses with respect to transformational events such as mergers, acquisitions, integrations and founder divestitures. He prioritizes developing a comprehensive understanding of the clients' personal and business goals, and guides them through the transactional nuances and processes accordingly. Todd is the Dallas Business Leader.
