Developers Sold Their Studios (Part One)"
Excerpt from a feature article in Gamasutra, a CMP
Media publication:
David Lee, a partner at the law firm White &
Lee in Silicon Valley explained. "One of the
things we do is to help sellers determine a valuation
that is justifiable. Obviously we want them to get
the highest price possible. We also want to make sure
that they have a clear understanding and expectation
of what life will be like in the new company."

Oregonian |

Steve Woodward,
an Oregonian staff writer, interviewed White &
Lee partner William H. Caffee as the White & Lee
Portland office was moving from downtown Portland's World
Trade Center to the "ultra-wired, techno-hip Fox Tower." In
the article, Woodward writes, "Start-up companies are turning to
White & Lee and other law firms, looking for a set of
skills that go beyond traditional corporate law: corporate
finance for raising money, securities law for going public,
intellectual property for defending tademarks and patents,
and executive compensation for setting up stock option
plans. They're also looking for advisers with connections to
venture capital, with business acumen and the ability to
execute at Internet speed." One of six attorneys hired from Portland's Dunn Carney Allen Higgins & Tongue to staff White & Lee's new office, Caffee says the office has been "just swamped ever since we got here." While acknowledging the presence of a handful of full-service law firms in Portland, Caffee tells Woodward that he is "counting on his firm's laser focus on start-ups and its Silicon Valley sheen to bring clients through the door."

White & Lee in California Law Business |

White
& Lee's co-founding partner, David Lee, is interviewed
by Meredith Alexander in an article entitled, "Small
Minded." Lee notes that one of the benefits of small law firms
is that they "can be more welcoming of infant companies -
sometimes even those with just the germ of an
idea.
Big firms often require that the company is already funded and has management in place."

"Business Comes First, Law Second - Menlo Park's
White & Lee Cuts through the Legalese" by Deanna
Hodgin
Excerpt: "What they've done is extract the
essence of what start-ups need," explains executive
consultant Alan Henricks, who does financial work for
various Silicon Valley start-ups. Their work includes not
only legal advice, but everything from refining busines
plans to structuring strategic investment to guiding young
companies through the M&A process. . . . White & Lee was formed
when David Lee left his partnership at Cooley Godward in
1996 and joined forces with White, a former Cooley
associate. Although small, the firm is equipped to do big-league
deals.
"Their ability to have very senior people like
David and Mark working with small companies sets them
apart,"
says Mark Tanoury, a partner in Cooley's Menlo Park office.
