About Ralph Mauro

I am an experienced transactional/corporate lawyer and in-house general counsel. I have spent 30+ years providing transactional, contract drafting/negotiation, corporate governance, executive compensation, and regulatory compliance services to private and public companies. This experience was obtained through 20+ years as outside counsel at several Philadelphia law firms (including 17+ at Kleinbard) and 9 years as in-house general counsel of a Philadelphia-area public company. For example, I have extensive experience in the following areas: • Strategic Transactions. Analyzing, negotiating and documenting M&A and other strategic opportunities, including representing buyers and sellers in asset- and stock-based transactions and parties in joint ventures. • Commercial Relationships. Analyzing, negotiating and documenting diverse day-to-day commercial agreements, including credit agreements, supply agreements, license agreements, real estate lease agreements, employment and consulting agreements, separation agreements, and confidentiality/NDA agreements for start-up as well as seasoned companies. • Compliance and Risk Management. Advising boards of directors, CEOs, and company owners on corporate governance and executive compensation “best practices”, pending/threatened litigation and disputes, enterprise risk management, cybersecurity, securities laws and other regulatory matters.
