36: From Silicon Valley to London: How Lawyers Help Startups Scale Globally
About this episode
The episode discusses the role of lawyers in helping startups scale globally, featuring insights from Daniel Glazer of Wilson Sonsini.
“We’re running science experiments - some will fail, but the wins make up for everything.” That mindset captures the U.S. approach to startups and sets the tone for our next episode, dropping next week. In this episode, Anastasia hosts Daniel Glazer, founding partner of the London office of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, the Silicon Valley-headquartered law firm. Mr. Glazer advises UK and European tech and life sciences companies on raising capital in the US, UK, and Europe, and on expanding their businesses across the Atlantic. For LSE law students, the conversation breaks down what startup lawyers actually do, how cross-border deals work in practice, and the skills needed to succeed in high-growth environments.
