As a business lawyer and adviser with over 20 years of combined legal and business experience, Doug Holod helps entrepreneurs and business owners achieve their potential by maximizing opportunities while managing risk and minimizing expenses.
For emerging businesses, he assists with corporate structuring, raising capital, drafting and negotiation of contracts and mergers/acquisitions. Several of Doug's clients were financed at some stage by venture capital or strategic corporate investors and Doug has considerable experience in structuring these transactions in addition to more routine private placements. He helps more mature businesses in raising further growth capital, contracts, mergers/acquisitions, and board/corporate governance counseling.
He represents clients in a broad range of industries, with a particular focus on the manufacturing, healthcare, and consumer/retail sectors. Doug also acts as a value-conscious general counsel for companies, coordinating and utilizing other Maslon lawyers when needed with employment, litigation, real estate or technology expertise.
Doug has been a member of Maslon's Governance Committee (i.e. its Board/Management Committee) since 2007 and served as Chair of Maslon's Business & Securities Group from 2001 to 2007.
Doug is married, has four children and lives in an old Victorian house in St. Paul. When not working with clients or enjoying his family, Doug runs a few marathons each year.
