Bio

Utilizing his extensive business and legal experience, Doug Holod primarily represents clients in three divergent industries: additive manufacturing, healthcare technology, and restaurants. For many of these clients, Doug has helped structure transactions with financial and strategic investors. Trained as a corporate and securities lawyer, Doug provides value-conscious general counsel services, occasionally coordinating with other lawyers regarding issues related to employment, technology licensing, real estate, taxation, and litigation. Much of Doug's time is spent deciphering complicated legal advice and helping executives and boards make informed decisions. Doug helps companies achieve their potential by prudently managing risk while "right-sizing" legal services to minimize expenses. He has worked with a broad range of businesses—including some that had started with good technology or business plans but hadn't reached their potential due to missed opportunities for growth or other missteps. Doug draws from this varied experience to help guide his clients forward. For emerging/venture-backed businesses, Doug assists with strategy, corporate structuring, capital raising, and contract negotiations, as well as mergers and acquisitions. In addition to working on private placements and public offerings, Doug has considerable experience structuring client transactions financed by venture capital, private equity firms, or strategic corporate investors. He also helps more mature businesses with mergers and acquisitions, raising additional growth capital, and corporate governance counseling. Doug served as chair of Maslon's Corporate & Securities Group for 10 years and was a member of Maslon's executive committee for more than six years, serving for two of those years as chair. In addition, Doug has personally served on the board of directors of Meritas, an international law firm network. He has also attended the Aspen Institute's seminars on leadership. Other than spending time with his wife and four children, Doug is happiest when cooking, traveling, and running trails.
