As part of its ongoing expansion in South Florida, international law firm Cozen O’Connor welcomes startup attorney Mark Kahn to its Corporate Practice Group. With billions of dollars in transactions under his belt, Kahn serves as outside general counsel to a range of startups on equity and debt financings, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), employee equity grants, and corporate governance matters. He joins Cozen O’Connor as a member and will work out of its Miami office.
Kahn comes to the firm from Sheppard and focuses his practice on startups, growth-stage companies, and venture capital investors. He provides legal and strategic guidance to clients in a variety of industries on venture capital, growth equity, and other complex commercial transactions. Kahn draws on his own experience as a startup founder who built and exited a company, and as an active angel investor, giving him an operator’s-eye view of the deals on which he advises.
Kahn’s legal background also includes advising blockchain and digital asset clients, helping them structure token rights, and handling various corporate matters involving restricted token and token warrant issuances.
“With a strong background serving advanced technology and other startups, Mark brings to us a unique and increasingly important legal skillset,” said Larry Laubach, co-chair of the firm’s Corporate Practice Group. “While these clients fiercely pursue new and evolving opportunities, they also face rapidly evolving financial, legal, regulatory, and legislative challenges. Mark is well-qualified to provide the steady hand these clients want and need, and I’m very happy to welcome him to Cozen O’Connor.”
Kahn earned his J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center and a B.S. in business management from Post University.
