“I recently hired Adam Braverman to assist me in negotiations. Not only was he knowledgeable, but he was also professional, attentive, and strategic. He set fair expectations and was a fantastic coach in negotiations. With Adam’s help, I was able to negotiate the most favorable possible terms and +40% to the amount offered. He provided a real sense of relief.”

After graduating Phi Beta Kappa from UC Berkeley and receiving my J.D. from the UC Berkeley School of Law, I chose corporate law, concentrating in venture capital and mergers and acquisitions.

I was drawn to the challenge of structuring complex contracts, the intensity of negotiating those agreements, and the excitement of closing a deal. And I was trained by excellent practitioners at leading firms at the top of their game, including McDermott, Will & Emery, and Schulte, Roth & Zabel LLP.

Although working at large law firms gave me an excellent technical skill set, I wanted to work with smaller teams to have more meaningful relationships with my clients. After all, being a well-rounded advisor was what had inspired me to go to law school in the first place. With the financial meltdown of the Great Recession, I decided to start my own practice.

In 2011, I began representing a small, one-location company. That company has now expanded across the entire country and employs more than 400 people. Being a part of that growth and helping this small business progress so successfully – and at such a rapid rate – became the model for my practice.

My current clients range from small entrepreneurs and startups with fundraising and governance questions to owners whose businesses have grown to multi-million dollar enterprises. I work with my clients across the business life cycle: to raise money, join incubators such as Techstars, negotiate joint ventures and significant commercial agreements, purchase other businesses, and, in some cases, be acquired. I have advised on multiple high value transactions worth eight figures or more.

I appreciate the passion that my clients have for their ideas. Collaborating with a diverse range of entrepreneurs and business owners enables me to fully involve myself with their businesses, understand their challenges, and offer guidance and support. I value these relationships and feel privileged that these companies have entrusted me to be a part of their development and prosperity.

I am currently the principal attorney at Braverman Law PC, and also of counsel at Dunning, Rievman & MacDonald LLP, located in New York City.
