Bio

David Wittmann is a member of Rubin and Rudman’s Corporate Department. Dave’s practice focuses on representing emerging and growth-stage companies in connection with general corporate matters, with a particular emphasis on capital-raising transactions. Additionally, Dave regularly represents venture capital firms and angel investors in connection with their investments in a wide range of industries, investment sizes, and deal structures (equity, SAFEs, SAFTs, convertible notes, etc.). Dave serves as outside general counsel for emerging and growth stage companies, as well as more traditional closely held businesses located throughout the United States, providing day-to-day legal and strategic advice on issues including formation and entity selection, financing, compensation (stock options, SAR plans), securities regulation, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property, employment, tax, software licensing, among others matters. In addition to drawing from his experiences as a private practice business attorney for nearly 15 years, Dave most recently served as General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer at a New York-based, multi-stage Venture Capital Firm, which required Dave to provide commercial, no-nonsense advice. In this role, Dave was exposed to countless financing transactions, and he regularly attended to fund formation matters, offering material preparation and reviews, investor communication matters, and compliance matters (including Advisers Act-related issues).
