About Cyrus
Q&A
  • What do you find most exciting about your work?

    I look forward most to counseling business owners and decision makers when structuring and implementing their business plans. Being a valuable resource to clients is the most exciting aspect of my work.

  • What type of matters do you work on most often?

    I primarily focus on negotiating and structuring mergers and acquisitions, including asset purchases and sales, equity purchases, equity sales and mergers. I also advise clients who are raising capital through private securities offerings for new businesses or investment funds that will invest in and acquire businesses or assets, as well as general corporate matters, such as employment agreements and employee incentive plans.
