About
Doug Holod advises the boards of public and private companies on directors' fiduciary duties in acquisitions and corporate takeovers, including hostile bids. He works with executives and boards to break a complicated legal question into terms they can act on when a transaction is in front of them. A partner at Maslon LLP, he earned his J.D. from University of Minnesota Law School and chaired the firm's Corporate & Securities Group for 10 years. He guides equity raises for private companies, acting for the company and its investors through a Series A round and later rounds, and he separately advises boards on equity offerings and equity repurchase plans. His board counsel on fiduciary obligations is what he brings to an acquisition.
