Better Counsel for Better Business Decisions

Valley Business & Tech Law gives business leaders direct access to experienced counsel who understands their business, helping them evaluate legal and business risk, understand their options, and make informed decisions that move their organizations forward.

Business Counsel Informed by Experience


For more than 25 years, Jesse has advised businesses and their leaders, drawing on experience in Silicon Valley and more than a decade serving as General Counsel for private, venture-backed, and private-equity-owned companies.

Today, Valley Business Tech & Law delivers practical, business-minded counsel to companies throughout California, grounded in firsthand understanding of the decisions, competing priorities, and risks organizations face.

"Jesse offers sound advice, with a commercial mindset. Because of his focus on business outcomes, he enables CEOs and teams to be unlocked, not impaired, by legal matters. Beyond this, Jesse strives to simplify complex legal matters so that non legal minds can understand the implications!"

The Law Is One Part of the Decision

Effective counsel recognizes the realities in which a recommendation must actually work.

The goal isn’t simply to provide an answer. It’s to make sure you understand the issue, your options, and the implications of each — so you can make the decision that’s right for your organization.

From Legal Analysis to Action

Legal advice doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Every organization has its own objectives, priorities, resources, and operational constraints.

Working directly with Jesse, you benefit from his personal involvement and experienced judgment as he helps translate legal analysis into a practical path forward — one that can be implemented, reconsidered, and adapted as circumstances change.

Counsel for Businesses and Their Leaders

From established companies to emerging technology startups, Valley Business & Tech Law provides practical legal counsel across the issues businesses and their leaders face – from day-to-day operations and regulatory compliance to technology, transactions, governance, and organizational decision-making.
