Leon Miller

Partner

“Being a corporate finance lawyer requires nimble thinking as market conditions and client objectives shift. IPOs and M&A can be complex transactions that require the entire advisory team to work seamlessly together. It is very gratifying when the deal process results in a transaction that provides a platform for the client’s business to grow and fulfil its potential.”
