Bio

Ian Carter has extensive experience representing clients in mergers and acquisitions, securities offerings, corporate governance, venture and private equity financings, entity formation, and compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. His experience also includes leading transaction teams in complex public and private company transactions, including coordinating firm specialty groups and outside local and international counsel. He has served as counsel to issuers and investors in debt and equity offerings, both public and private, in the U.S. and international capital markets, including over 50 private, venture-backed financings.

Ian has helped numerous private companies prepare business plans, private placement memorandums, subscription packages, founders' agreements, buy-sell agreements, and other documents of importance to emerging companies. He has also prepared and negotiated countless commercial agreements, including distribution, development, vendor, independent contractor, and master services agreements and employment related documents including employment agreements, employee policies and employee handbooks.

Ian has experience reviewing and drafting private equity fund formation documents and has negotiated investments in and transfers of various private equity fund interests. In the area of mergers and acquisitions, he has represented both sellers and buyers and has considerable experience drafting and negotiating letters of intent, merger agreements, asset purchase agreements, noncompetition agreements, and related documents.

Although Ian's practice has an emphasis on representing technology and renewable resource companies, he has represented numerous traditional, low-tech and brick-and-mortar companies as well.
