TED BIDERMAN

In my twenty-plus years of practice, whether I was an in-house lawyer or an outside law firm attorney, I have always thought of myself as a member of the business team providing sound legal advice versus a lawyer solely giving legal advice. A business lawyer must provide strategic advice to manage legal risk but at the same time recognize the complex business issues at play. While I enjoy working with start ups in all types of business, my practice includes health care products and services, international commercialization of products and services and building corporate compliance programs with particular focus on the Anti-Kickback Statute and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).

I have represented both buyers and sellers in transactions ranging in size from $5 million to over $1 billion. I also have extensive international experience practicing in-house in Paris, France, negotiating and closing international acquisitions, licensing and development transactions and with unfortunate direct experience with the laws and regulations regarding Speedo requirements of French swimming pools.

NATE MILLER

My corporate and securities law practice emphasizes both emerging growth and established companies. I advise clients on venture capital financings, private placements, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, and securities law disclosure and compliance. I have represented both buyers and sellers in complex acquisitions, mergers, and restructuring transactions ranging in size from less than $1 million to over $1 billion. I also work with private investment funds and investment advisers on fund management, governance, and securities law compliance issues.

I love learning, meeting new people, and trying new things. I've written extensively in both academic and professional contexts. I am also an outdoor athlete, literature junkie, and coffee aficionado.

MICHAEL DORNIK

I work with a range of clients from startups to late-stage ventures. I have helped companies with general corporate issues, including mergers and acquisitions, investment and securities issues, corporate formation and governance, and general commercial contracting. I also have an experienced practice with issues specific to technology companies, which range from technology licensing and strategies to privacy concerns. During my time as an attorney and financial analyst, I've completed numerous transactions for buy- and sell-side parties and many large technology transactions, including satellite purchases and OEM deals. I attempt to find efficient solutions to complex problems and to provide actual business ramifications with suggested solutions instead of simply covering potential legal concerns.

Outside of the law, I enjoy business strategy, technology and product development, and economics. My hobbies include climbing, skiing, jiu jitsu, hiking, writing, full-stack dev, and reading as much as possible. I believe that hobbies, interests, and work should collide and feed on each other for a better life in general.
