Neil Cooper is a co-founding and co-managing partner of the firm.  He focuses his practice primarily on business and corporate law matters, effectively serving as outside general counsel to many of his clients.  Among other things, Neil advises clients on structuring, negotiating, and documenting “bet-your-company” finance transactions, acquisitions and dispositions, and a broad range of business agreements, with emphasis on start-up and emerging growth companies, entrepreneurs, and investors in a variety of industries, especially technology.  He also counsels founders, executives, and investors with respect to equity positions, governance, employment arrangements, and agreements among investors.  Neil has also successfully negotiated many multi-million dollar, international technology transactions, several involving vendors and service providers from multiple countries.

Neil began his career as a member of the Business & Finance Section of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, one of the world’s largest law firms.  There, he represented both large and small cap companies in numerous securities and finance transactions, including initial public offerings, private placements, venture capital transactions, and mergers and acquisitions.  He also counseled clients with respect to a wide variety of corporate and business matters.  Wanting to ensure that he truly understood the needs of and issues confronted by clients, Neil became one.  He joined EXE Technologies, a leading provider of supply chain execution software which grew to over $100 million in revenues, 800 employees, and operations in 15 countries during his tenure.  At EXE, Neil last served as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary and part of the global management team. At this high tech company, Neil led a six-person legal department quarterbacking the company’s venture and bank financings, successful initial public offering, and acquisitions.   He also structured, negotiated, and documented the company’s outsourcing to India and large international contracts.  He was instrumental in advising the Board of Directors on governance and other matters, ranging from counseling the company’s subsidiaries worldwide and handling employment matters, distribution and other channel arrangements, commercial disputes, benefits plans, marketing and intellectual property matters, and on-going SEC reporting and compliance.

Prior to co-founding SORINROYERCOOPER, Neil was the Managing Member of Cooper Law Group, LLC, a firm that he founded and built to respond to the particular needs of emerging growth, middle market, technology, and life science companies.  He recognized such companies too often are under-served by existing legal service providers.  He brings to bear 15 years of experience at a large law firm, as a client, and at his own firm, to deliver high-quality legal services specifically tailored to the needs of the emerging growth and middle market sectors.
