Experienced Emerging Company Lawyer Joins the San Francisco Office of Davis Wright Tremaine LLP

Stephen Knute Gregg, an experienced emerging company lawyer, has joined the San Francisco office of Davis Wright Tremaine LLP as a partner.

Gregg brings to the firm over 15 years of experience in venture financing, M&A, securities, and general corporate work for emerging growth companies in a range of industries, inside and outside the technology sector. He focuses on M&A and private placement financings, both debt and equity.

“We are very excited to further expand our capacity to serve corporate clients in the fast-growing Bay Area economy,” said Joe Addiego, partner-in-charge at Davis Wright Tremaine’s San Francisco office.

Earlier this year, the firm also added Jim Topinka, an experienced corporate finance lawyer from Winston & Strawn, to its San Francisco team.

Gregg frequently acts as outside general counsel to emerging company clients, advising them on matters such as formation, corporate governance, joint ventures, third-party tender offers, and other controlled liquidity programs. He has also represented a number of venture funds and strategic investors in connection with their respective investments in a variety of industries.

Gregg comes to the firm from the Palo Alto office of Morrison & Foerster LLP, where he practiced for over a decade. Prior to that, he was at K&L Gates LLP. He received his J.D. from Lewis & Clark Law School and his B.A. from Connecticut College.
