Jones Day

Jones Day supports companies and investors across all stages, from inception through IPOs and mergers, with extensive experience in venture capital financing. The practice is led by Michael Earley, the firm’s global co-head of private equity, who is based in Chicago. Operating from Silicon Valley and San Francisco, Timothy Curry is praised as an ‘attentive partner’ who specializes in venture capital and growth equity financings, M&A, and IPOs for start-ups. In San Diego, Taylor Stevens is active in the technology and life sciences sectors, while Cameron Reese focuses on corporate formation, financing transactions, and M&A. Atlanta’s William Zawrotny guides start-ups, emerging growth companies, and investors in corporate venture capital deals, and Jeremy Cleveland in Silicon Valley brings expertise in venture capital financings, public offerings, and corporate governance. The US team’s offering was enhanced by Alexandre Wibaux’s relocation from Paris to New York in 2023, bolstering the firm’s ability to serve European clients expanding into the US market.
