• Meaningful capital markets experience: prior involvement in equity or debt offerings, registration statement drafting, or public company securities compliance (Reg FD, SOX, Section 16, 10b5-1)

• Genuine comfort as a finance lawyer who partners directly with CFOs, treasurers, and bankers — not primarily as a Board advisor
