Temidayo helps corporations and governmental entities leverage the law as part of a toolkit for solving complex problems.
An out-of-the-box problem solver, Temidayo brings energy and creativity to her work and is a clear-minded advocate who works closely with clients to achieve their goals.
Temidayo discovered her passion for the intersection of law and business while in law school and found herself frequently considering business questions. She was fascinated by the business strategies corporations implement to achieve their goals, and how attorneys could best support them. Temidayo observed that the law was not an inherently restrictive or opposing force: instead, she saw the law as a source of creative business solutions.
Temidayo is broadly experienced in corporate governance; mergers, acquisitions and other corporate transactions; and venture capital matters. She has worked extensively with startups and emerging companies, advising on entity formation, financing, employee compensation and privacy and trademark questions. She has also worked for a niche public financing law firm, representing both public entities and private stakeholders. Today, Temidayo focuses her practice on corporate transactions, financing and governance matters for a wide variety of corporate and governmental clients of all sizes.
Early in her career, Temidayo realized she would be better able to represent clients if she fully understood their business priorities and objectives. To that end, she founded her own company and oversaw its launch, fundraising and early growth. She negotiated licensing and partnership agreements with major retailers, obtained and documented seed financing, and handled a range of vendor, manufacturing and privacy issues. The experience helped Temidayo understand client priorities and showed her how much business owners value creative solutions from partners who take initiative for driving a business forward.
Known for finding answers and strategies that go beyond clients’ expectations, Temidayo always wants clients to feel heard. Her goal is for clients to see her as a full partner who will use her knowledge of the law to solve problems and help them reach their strategic objectives.
