William Rosenstadt’s specialty consists of advising entrepreneurs, public companies, and other corporate entities with respect to the execution of complex commercial, corporate, and international transactions. Mr. Rosenstadt acts in an advisory capacity for his clients and often as general counsel, providing advice with respect to representation of U.S. and foreign public corporations, private companies in public and private financings (equity and debt), federal securities law compliance, venture capital financings, and other merger and acquisition related transactions. Mr. Rosenstadt efficiently performs the legal service necessary to complete said transactions, considering in advance the ultimate goals and exit strategies depending on the particular needs of his clients. His entrepreneurial background and experience have consistently provided him with the tools necessary for sensitive and empathetic handling of his clients’ needs by using a “real world” and pragmatic approach. In the few situations where a matter is outside his realm of expertise, William draws upon his extensive domestic and international network of accomplished attorneys to help assist with such matters.
After graduating from Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Arts in 1990, he continued his education at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and received his J.D. in 1995, and was later admitted to the bars of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. He clerked with the honorable James. L. Garrity in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of New York in 1996 and spent 1997 as a managing director in American Industrial Acquisition Corporation (AIAC), a private-equity firm in the small-capitalization (>$50MM) leveraged buyout manufacturing space. He was responsible for coordinating all facets of a potential transaction including (i) conducting due diligence efforts; (ii) structuring; (iii) interfacing with professionals including co-investors, attorneys, accountants, management of target; and (iv) preparation of all documents related thereto.
Mr. Rosenstadt later returned to private practice as an associate attorney in a number of corporate and securities practices with AIAC as a client before becoming a founding partner of the Sanders Ortoli Vaughn-Flam Rosenstadt LLP law firm in 2007.
On a personal note, Mr. Rosenstadt spends the majority of his free time skiing, fly-fishing, and growing with his wife and three young children.
