Alice Turinas

Experienced technology and business lawyer, handling advisory and transactional matters

Alice Turinas is a graduate of Harvard Law School and Duke University, and has more than 20 years of business law experience. As a former business attorney for a global law firm with 725 attorneys and 13 offices (London, New York, Houston, etc.), and as former senior counsel for AT&T’s web businesses, Alice routinely developed, negotiated and closed complex cross-border agreements for European and American technology businesses. Alice has practiced corporate law in the UK when living in London, before resuming her legal practice in the US.

Her experience in handling sophisticated transactions for global businesses enables Alice to close deals on time, and to provide high quality and cost-effective advice to mid-sized businesses on complex issues. Because Alice has counseled businesses since their inception, she brings a strategic view to typical significant legal issues. This enables her to proactively advise on long-term goals, such as exit mechanisms for founders and/or other investors, or positioning the company for an ultimate IPO or sale.

Every client matters to Alice, who focuses on that client’s desired outcome. She feels rewarded when executives at tech companies tell her they can better sleep at night, knowing that the important legal issues have been considered.

Alice enjoys sailing, skiing and Duke Blue Devils Basketball. She and her husband belong to a Westie, their fourth, luckily an enthusiastic sailor.
