Eitan helps emerging companies, founders, entrepreneurs, investors, and venture capital and investment funds navigate situations that require thoughtful and strategic counsel.
Eitan Hoenig advises parties undergoing business separations, investment restructurings and workouts, co-founder terminations, co-founder disputes, executive transitions, stakeholder disputes, sensitive corporate governance engagements, and contested investor solicitations. He is adept at unpacking, organizing—and, ultimately—fixing complex, sensitive corporate and stakeholder governance situations.
In addition to his crisis management and special situations work, Eitan represents entrepreneurs and high-growth companies at all points in their development. He advises on formations, founder governance, seed and venture capital financings, debt financings, strategic transactions, complex commercial transactions, joint ventures, executive and board transitions, acquisitions, divestitures, spinoffs, mergers, and other exit transactions. Eitan partners closely with clients in industries experiencing technological and regulatory disruption, such as direct-to-consumer, digital health, fintech, and blockchain.
Eitan’s practical, goal-oriented strategies derive from his experience building startup companies. Eitan helped grow Kluk Farber Law, a boutique law firm, into a larger organization that was acquired by Perkins Coie in 2022. Previously, Eitan ran product development and operations for a healthcare infrastructure startup company and led the launch of its product at a major hospital system.
