Background

More than twenty years experience in a variety of sophisticated legal, tax and financial transactions, involving a wide variety of underlying business activities. Mr. Feldman draws upon a strong tax, financial, and accounting background dating back to a career in public accounting following his completion of graduate business school at Wharton in 1975 and having earned his CPA certificate (Ohio) that same year and in Texas (1980)1. Mr. Feldman is able to draw upon years of experience on the substantive business side of transactions from both the financial and the legal perspectives.

Mr. Feldman's client experience spans businesses involved in real estate, distribution, manufacturing, energy, marketing, and service providers, both domestic and foreign. Through 1982, Mr. Feldman served as a corporate finance and securities (mergers and acquisitions) lawyer at Vinson & Elkins in Houston, TX. From 1982 through early 1992, Mr. Feldman oversaw the legal, financial, operational and administrative aspects of several businesses as a principal in a Houston based investment (merchant banking) group focused on real estate and automotive investments. During this time, Mr. Feldman served as chief operating officer (dealer principal) of an automotive group consisting of Dominion Jaguar, Dominion Volvo, and Dominion Subaru and a related parts distribution company. When the operations were sold in 1989 revenues had doubled to $50 million over a three year period, with employment then in excess of 120 persons. Concurrently as the CFO at Wolff, Morgan & Company/Wolff Companies, Mr. Feldman oversaw the financial, legal, administrative and operational aspects of several dozen brother-sister investment entities as a partner or shareholder in such. These brother sister entities held assets in excess of $200,000,000, with Mr. Feldman managing $125 million in credit facilities.

Since 1992, Mr. Feldman has served as outside counsel for a wide range of closely-held businesses, applying these legal, tax and financial skills for the benefit of the Firm s clients. The Firm also serves as litigation counsel for clients in a variety of commercial and business litigation matters.
