Emily is a trusted advisor to venture-backed and growth-stage technology companies, including AI-native platforms, data and analytics businesses, and enterprise software/SaaS providers, and their investors on commercial, intellectual property, and technology transactions, with substantial experience in M&A and other strategic deals across the technology ecosystem. She represents companies from formation through exit, with a focus on work that sits closest to their products and revenue and on transactions where commercial contracts, IP, and data assets drive deal value. Her company-side work spans early IP and technology counseling, day-to-day commercial contracting (including master services agreements, online terms and order forms, data and content licenses, co-development and pilot agreements, and other complex services relationships), and growth financings and sell-side acquisitions as those businesses scale. Across these matters, Emily helps founders and in-house teams convert product architectures, data flows, and business models into contract structures and negotiation strategies that are both practical and repeatable and that support an eventual exit.

In addition, Emily has significant experience advising AI and data-driven businesses on contract terms that directly affect how their models and products are trained, deployed, and used in production—IP ownership, data and content rights, liability structures, and model-related issues such as training rights and ongoing use of data in evolving AI systems. This includes structuring data and content licenses for model training and product improvement, negotiating customer and partner agreements for AI and analytics offerings, and designing collaboration and commercialization frameworks that protect core technology while still enabling integrations, experimentation, and joint development. She applies the same rigor to non-AI clients, helping technology and software companies design collaboration and licensing frameworks for their products, map contract terms to how those products are architected and delivered, and build playbooks for negotiating risk allocation, IP ownership, and data rights in a way that supports long-term commercialization and growth.

Emily also advises investors—both early and later-stage—on financings and strategic transactions across a broad range of technology businesses, including AI infrastructure and data platforms, fintech and logistics technology companies, and vertical SaaS and healthcare technology providers, with investments ranging from early venture rounds to large later-stage and high-dollar financings where commercial contracts, IP, and data assets are central to valuation. In addition, she serves on deal teams representing technology companies in both buy-side and sell-side acquisitions, focusing on transactions in which commercial agreements and technology assets are central to the acquisition thesis. In these matters, Emily surfaces and negotiates key commercial and IP issues and manages transactional IP and commercial diligence so that critical contracts and rights support broader deal objectives.
