Business Law

I have taken a few weeks off of blogging.  Honestly, I felt like I needed the break, but I am excited about getting back on the saddle and writing again.

Since it has been a few weeks, let me give a brief update on what we have been up to.  Alerding Castor Hewitt has had an exciting beginning to 2010.  On January 1, Bill Boncosky joined us.  Bill is a business attorney / technology and SaaS law attorney working with privately held companies, primarily in technology industries.  Bill has spent the last seven years as General Counsel at ExactTarget.  We all have much to learn from him and are thrilled to have him as part of the team.  The IBJ put out a nice article in January on our firm's focus on entrepreneur law and Bill's joining us in this field.

This week Scott Kreider joined our business litigation group.  Scott adds to a team headed up by Mike Alerding that handles a difficult and necessary discipline for any full service business law firm – handling business disputes.  It is great to have him aboard.  Also, Mike made the IBJ's 40 under 40 the other week.  Good stuff.

Over the last few weeks our firm has helped four clients through capital funding processes - three from angel investors or private equity firms and one from a venture capital firm.  It is always encouraging to see business clients grow, and we count it as an honor to be part of their process.

We have also been involved with many businesses and business owners through customer deals and strategic business growth matters.  We will write more on some of those matters in future posts.  

I was a guest lecturer the other week at Purdue’s entrepreneurship capstone course.  Man I felt old, but I was very encouraged by the enthusiasm, drive and smarts from this class.  

So there is the fire hose version of the last few weeks.  2010 is off to a strong start for ACH.  I am looking forward to what is coming down the pike.
