He counsels clients on corporate formation, corporate transactional and intellectual property matters and has particular experience working with clients on early stage financings (venture, strategic and angel), mergers and acquisitions, licensing (software, technology, and biotech), and trademark matters.

Mr. Barron has served as the legal advisor for numerous common stock and preferred stock private placements for early stage companies. For one biotech client, Mr. Barron structured and documented a series of private placements which raised over $200 million.
