Expert guidance on our company's Series B financing round

Our tech startup engaged David Lillevand at Pillsbury to navigate a complex Series B preferred stock financing. While his primary office is in San Francisco, his availability for meetings in San Diego was seamless and crucial for us. David’s deep knowledge in securities and capital markets law was immediately apparent. He expertly guided us through the intricacies of the term sheet negotiation, investor rights agreements, and the myriad regulatory compliance issues, demonstrating why he’s recognized as a leader in this field. His advice was not only legally sound but also strategically sharp, helping us structure a deal that protected our founding team’s interests while satisfying our investors. The one area where we occasionally wished for more was in response time on non-urgent emails, which could sometimes stretch a day or two during peak periods. However, when it mattered, he was always available. His three years of focused experience in this niche, combined with the resources of Pillsbury, made him an invaluable asset. We completed the round successfully and confidently, and I would recommend him for similar corporate finance matters.
