Background

About Joshua Fox

I help entrepreneurs build their businesses and advise them on significant transactions in the lifecycle of those businesses, focusing on fundraising transactions and exit events. I represent founders, start-ups and emerging companies, serving as general counsel to my clients. I advise clients regarding company formation and early-stage legal issues, financings (including angel, venture capital and strategic investments) and mergers and acquisitions. I also counsel my clients on legal and business matters that arise in the daily operations of their business. I typically work with companies in the life sciences industry — drug development, devices, diagnostics and tools — and in the technology sector, including energy, digital health, software, and technology-enabled services. In addition to counseling entrepreneurs and emerging companies, I represent investors, including venture capital firms and foundations, in the investments that they make. I frequently speak about topics related to entrepreneurship, financing, exit strategies, and best practices for businesses. I also maintain an active pro bono practice and I am involved in my firm’s operations, including hiring activities. I currently serve on the Board of Directors of Lawyers for Civil Rights. My community involvement over time has included serving as a member of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Leadership Council, serving as a mentor to high school students in Boston through BUILD, and serving on various alumni committees at Tufts University. I have also been a lecturer at the Boston University School of Law, where I have taught a class on venture capital financings that I created.
