Pillsbury has added international transactional, technology and emerging growth lawyer Stan Lewandowski as a Corporate partner in Silicon Valley. With a unique international flavor to his start-up practice, he joins the firm from K&L Gates.
Lewandowski advises domestic and international emerging growth companies at every stage of development—from start-up to liquidity. He handles a variety of corporate and strategic projects, including venture capital and private equity financings, joint ventures and M&A transactions. He also helps clients monetize their intellectual property through licensing and has deep involvement in clients’ day-to-day operations, advising on strategic issues such as structuring and formation, governance, and a myriad of commercial agreements.
Lewandowski has worked closely with investors and companies on domestic, in-bound and out-bound transactions, as well as on-shore and off-shore structures. This includes significant experience advising developers, investors and financial institutions with commercial, industrial and utility-scale solar and wind projects.
“Stan combines vast technology and emerging growth experience with a broad background in cross-border transactions,” said Stanley Pierson, leader of the firm’s Emerging Growth & Venture Capital practice. “He has advised a litany of clients based in Central and Eastern Europe and Latin America, regions that have become increasingly important to many of our clients. He is a welcome addition to our strong Silicon Valley practice and we look forward to working with him.”
“I’m excited to be a part of Pillsbury, especially its technology practice, which has helped so many now well-known companies on their paths from incorporation to IPO and beyond,” Lewandowski said. “The firm has an impressive track record and I know my clients will benefit greatly from Pillsbury’s robust platform.”
