Dave is Of Counsel at McLane Middleton, in the firm’s Corporate Department, where he focuses his practice on mergers and acquisitions, general corporate mattes, and financing transactions, with particular expertise representing companies and investors in early-stage financings.

With nearly two decades of experience, Dave regularly advises emerging growth companies, venture capital funds, closely held businesses, and  strategic acquirers on a wide range of corporate matters, including seed and venture capital financings, M&A transactions (buy and sell side), joint ventures, executive and equity compensation, formation, contract, and general corporate governance matters. His practice spans many industries ranging from deep tech, life sciences, AI, and robotics, to manufacturing, construction, and trade businesses, and he has closed transactions ranging from early-stage seed rounds to multi-million-dollar acquisitions and sales.

Dave takes a practical, business-oriented approach to legal counsel, helping clients navigate complex transactions efficiently while anticipating issues that could affect long-term growth. He is particularly attuned to the unique needs of startups and emerging companies, guiding founders and management teams through the full lifecycle of financing from initial capital raises through subsequent rounds and eventual exit transactions.

David received his B.A. at Ohio University and his J.D. at Suffolk University Law School.

Prior to joining McLane Middleton, Dave was general counsel and CCO at an active Venture Capital firm based in New York City.
