Robert Chow provides actionable legal advice to entrepreneurs, emerging growth companies, and venture investors on general corporate, securities, mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”), strategic alliance, licensing, and commercial matters. Rob also focuses on serving middle-market private equity clients in both buy-side and sell-side transactions. In his private equity work, he focuses on closing deals swiftly and efficiently while helping clients avoid undue risks. Rob believes there is nothing more exciting in the corporate practice than M&A, whether it be on the sell side helping management and investors structure deals to achieve liquidity on a tax-efficient basis or on the buy side helping buyers quickly identify and mitigate risks in the businesses they are acquiring and close deals in a fast and cost-effective manner. Every new deal brings unique challenges, and Rob enjoys coming up with ways to overcome them. Rob is uniquely positioned as a corporate attorney with an insider’s perspective. Earlier in his career, Rob was in-house general counsel at a tech company and the only lawyer among hundreds of employees. He understands how legal advice “competes” with many other non-legal concerns that businesses face, such as winning key customers, maintaining goodwill with partners, and managing costs. Robert strives to provide advice that is both practical and actionable.
