Jeff Klein

I work with a lot of emerging companies in New York City (and some in Boston and Califonia). While I have a lot of experience in traditional NYC industry segments (eg, ad tech, media, fin tech, entertainment) my work experience cuts across a broad base of industries (eg, enterprise software, big data, retail tech, healthcare tech, life sciences, e-commerce, consumer products, etc.). The companies I have helped range in size from very early stage to public companies.

As a legal counselor, I help companies in all areas of the corporate life cycle with a concentration in formation issues (including founder equity issues), financing transactions, commercial agreements, revenue transactions, licensing, corporate governance, joint ventures and mergers/acquisitions. One unique skill set I have is deep experience helping tech companies structure and negotiate commercial, licensing and strategic transactions and business development activities involving revenue, technology and intellectual property.

I've always viewed my role and platform as more than just a legal counselor and I consistently deliver additional value to my clients. I advise them on business issues and give them a sense for key market terms in financing, commercial and corporate transactions. I actively leverage my extensive network to help my clients connect with potential investors, customers, talent, etc. I also actively engage with the NYC Tech Community.
