Biography

Wright provides legal guidance to entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized businesses, helping them navigate business-related legal challenges from startup through exit. Wright’s practice is focused on three primary areas:

1. Mergers & Acquisitions: advising purchasers or sellers in business sales and acquisitions.

2. Venture Capital: helping entrepreneurs and early-stage companies raise capital to start or grow their business through issuance of debt, equity, or convertible securities.

3. General Counsel: serving as outside general counsel for... matters arising throughout the business life cycle, including entity formation, contract drafting and negotiation, corporate governance, stock option plans, employment, and succession planning.

Wright grew up in Loudoun County, Virginia where he currently resides with his wife and son. When he’s not advising clients, you can find Wright on the golf course, playing with his kids, or researching investment opportunities. Wright is ASA Bareboat Certified (Monohull and Catamaran) and wants to obtain a private pilot’s license one day.
