Background: Mike Heath is a corporate and securities associate in our Los Angeles office. Mike specializes in the representation of emerging growth companies throughout their lifecycles. He represents a wide variety of technology companies from consumer internet, software, telecommunications, and entertainment technology industries, as well as a number of leading venture capital firms.

Company: Founded more than fifteen years ago, Gunderson Dettmer has become the nation’s leading business law firm for entrepreneurs, emerging growth companies and venture capitalists. Building upon the idea that “best of breed” wins, we are a different sort of law firm—a business law firm consisting solely of business lawyers. The primary focus of the firm is to assist our clients in solving business problems, executing business strategies and achieving critical business objectives.

With more than 160 lawyers in seven offices—Silicon Valley, Beijing, Boston, Los Angeles, New York, San Diego and San Francisco—we represent companies in every stage of development—from startup through entry into public equity markets and beyond. Our expertise includes general corporate and securities matters, mergers and acquisitions, venture capital and private equity fund formation, representation of venture capital and private equity investors, representation of investment bankers, intellectual property and strategic alliances, cross-border transactions, tax, executive compensation, and employment law.

fnMentoring is on Thursday November 14th beginning at 7:00 pm PDT. RSVP here to participate in this event.
