His deals, on behalf of public and private clients, include mergers, acquisitions, capital markets and strategic investments, including representing Axon, the world's leading manufacturer of police body-worn cameras and provider of municipal policing solutions, including the TASER, which is seeking to cut gun-related deaths between police and the public in the United States by 50% before 2033.
