Smith Anderson Lawyers Geoff Krouse and Jason Martinez Speak at Duke University School of Law

Raleigh, NC – On September 18, 2014, Geoff Krouse and Jason Martinez, partners at Smith Anderson, teamed with Duke Law School to participate in its 2014 “Introduction to Corporate Law” panel. They provided first year law students with an explanation of the different areas within corporate law, including securities, private equity, venture capital, and mergers and acquisitions. The goal of the session was to provide students with a general overview of what a new lawyer can expect to encounter in a transactional business practice, the challenges and rewards that come with the territory, and the characteristics and skills that will help a lawyer thrive in a corporate law practice.
