Paul Sieben

O'Melveny & Myers LLP

Paul Sieben, Head of O’Melveny’s Silicon Valley office, represents all stages of technology companies as well as numerous venture capital firms and investment banks. Paul’s practice is focused on corporate and securities law and has extensive experience with transactions in which he represents companies and investors in venture capital financings, mergers and acquisitions, early liquidity transactions, spin-offs and buyouts, recapitalizations, public equity offerings and private debt transactions.

Paul has served as lead counsel on hundreds of venture capital, angel and private-equity financings, more than a hundred M&A transactions of all sizes, and a significant number of recapitalizations, public offerings and other transactions — many on behalf of, or opposite, major tech companies.

Much of Paul’s practice stems from his startup company practice, where he handles formation, founder-related matters, seed investments and venture capital financings for early-stage companies and then continues to represent them in various matters including later stage financings, M&A and corporate governance matters as they grow into larger private and public companies.

His clients include companies in a wide range of technology markets, including security, storage, mobile, gaming, cloud, big data, software, wearables, media, social, Internet and clean technology. Paul also has significant cross-border experience, particularly with Cayman entities doing business in China.

Paul has been recognized by several publications for his work, including, the International Financial Law Review 1000 (which has named Paul one of its leading lawyers for private equity), Legal 500 US (which has recognized him as a leading lawyer in its Venture Capital and Emerging Companies category, citing the “extraordinary support” he provides to clients and his ability to “produce very high-quality work on short timelines”) and Super Lawyers’ “Rising Stars” list of Northern California’s best young attorneys in the area of Mergers & Acquisitions.
