John Horton is a partner at Lowenstein, as a member of its Emerging Companies and Venture Capital practice group. Mr. Horton broadly specializes in corporate and securities law.

In addition to representing large corporations in a full range of business and transactional matters, Mr. Horton works with investors and entrepreneurs throughout the life cycle businesses and portfolio investments. Based out of Palo Alto, California, Mr. Horton understands the legal needs of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and the start-up company growth progression. Because many emerging companies have limited in-house legal capacity, he embraces the role of outside counsel by working alongside executive teams to manage risk, oversee corporate governance and help identify and capitalize on commercial opportunities. Mr. Horton’s venture capital legal representation includes fund investors and strategic investors, as well as start-up companies seeking funding. Additionally, Mr. Horton handles private company buy-side and sell-side mergers and acquisitions transactions of all sizes.

Prior to joining Lowenstein, Mr. Horton was a partner in the Silicon Valley office of Goodwin Procter LLP.
