Wright Lewis

The Deal Lawyer

I am a transactional lawyer that loves closing deals. My practice is focused on mergers and acquisitions, venture capital, and general corporate matters.

Practical, Experienced, Responsive

Practical

Clients don’t want someone to over-lawyer a deal. They don’t want inefficient law firm structures with high rates and excessive redundancy. They want their lawyer to find, analyze, and address risks, provide actionable experience-based advice, and they want the deal to close.

Experienced

Clients have trusted me with over $100,000,000.00 in deals closed. They know they can rely on my experience to find solutions to the challenges that arise in their deal, and navigate to a successful closing.

Responsive

Entrepreneurs have a bias for action. They move fast and need answers yesterday. They can’t afford to work with a lawyer who takes days to respond. I strive to respond to all client correspondence in 24 hours or less. If it’s important to my client, it’s important to me. Time kills deals.

Philosophy

I believe in the power of private enterprise to solve the world’s biggest challenges. The truly transformative solutions, those that reshape industries and improve lives, come from entrepreneurs and founder-led companies driven by unwavering conviction in their mission. My mission is to serve as a trusted legal partner to these visionaries, providing the counsel and support they need to navigate complex legal terrain while staying focused on what they do best: building and growing their businesses. From structuring your legal entity and early-stage fundraising through growth financing, strategic acquisitions, and ultimate exit, I help entrepreneurs address business-critical legal challenges efficiently and effectively, without losing momentum. I understand that your time is your most valuable resource, and legal complexities shouldn’t distract you from executing your vision. Whether you’re launching your first venture, raising capital to scale, acquiring a competitor or complementary business, building a portfolio of companies, or preparing to sell the business you’ve built, I’m committed to delivering practical, responsive, legal guidance that protects your interests and advances your goals. I’d welcome the opportunity to learn about your business and explore how I can support your success.

“We greatly appreciate all the great support we received from you during our successful deal. I’d highly recommend you to anyone considering of the sale of their business.”

“I cannot begin to tell you how excellent and flawless the experience and service were. Wright was attentive to my situation and quickly worked to resolve it with a quick consultative solution process.”

Justin B

“Wright is a great business advisor. I write “business advisor”, rather than “attorney”, because he does so much more. He puts himself in the client’s shoes and can see solutions beyond the contract, bringing multi-disciplinary skills, experience, and curiosity to every matter. We’ve worked together for years and he has become invaluable in helping my clients and our firm as a whole. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
