SAN DIEGO – Jeremy D. Glaser, former co-chair of Morrison & Foerster’s emerging company/venture capital group, has joined Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, PC as a member of its San Diego office.
Glaser brings substantial expertise representing emerging growth companies as well as venture capital firms, hedge funds, issuers and underwriters in connection with venture capital financings and IPOs.
His experience spans a range of industries, including clean tech, Internet, software, wireless and semiconductors. In addition, Glaser regularly advises management and boards of public companies on complex disclosure and insider trading issues, compliance with federal securities laws, and corporate governance requirements.
“We’re very excited to have Jeremy join us,” said Craig Hunsaker, managing member of Mintz Levin’s San Diego office. “He brings added depth and expertise in the corporate and securities field for both private and public companies — critical areas for us as we continue to expand in San Diego to meet the needs of our local and national clients. Just as important to us, though, is Jeremy’s desire to be part of our growing team. He shares the entrepreneurial spirit that defines Mintz Levin and its clients.”
Mintz Levin’s corporate practice completed transactions totaling more than $40 billion in 2007. Included were 54 mergers and acquisitions totaling over $33 billion, 45 venture capitol deals totaling over $500 million, 22 public offerings valued at $1.5 billion and 15 strategic collaborations totaling $1.5 billion.
The firm Watanabe Nason helped with Glaser’s placement at Mintz Levin.
“I am very excited about joining Mintz Levin as they continue to expand their representation of emerging growth companies in California,” Glaser said. “Mintz’ entrepreneurial spirit and focus on technology companies is the perfect fit for me and my clients. Mintz’ strong reputation and contacts with venture capital funds and other financing sources on the East Coast enables me to provide even greater assistance to my clients in accessing the capital necessary to grow their businesses.”
