Alvarez Arrieta & Diaz-Silveira, a Miami-based corporate boutique law firm specialising in international and domestic M&A, finance and real estate, has promoted Brian Canida to counsel and head of the firm's Venture Capital group.
"We are thrilled to have Brian lead our growing Venture Capital practice during such an exciting time for the tech industry here in Miami," said Albert Diaz-Silveira, one of the firm's founders. "Brian's broad exposure to venture capital transactions – both here in South Florida and in the key startup hubs domestically and abroad – has allowed the firm to stay current with market terms and trends."
Brian regularly represents emerging companies and investors on both ongoing and transaction-specific matters, including those related to corporate and securities law, venture capital financing, mergers and acquisitions, and technology transactions. He is also a venture capital investor and heavily involved in supporting the technology and venture capital ecosystem in South Florida and Latin America.
Prior to joining AADS, Canida was a corporate associate in the New York office of the international law firm Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP for several years.
"I could not imagine a better opportunity than being able to counsel clients in such a dynamic field at a firm which is itself young and emerging," says Canida. "I look forward to continuing to help clients navigate the constantly changing venture capital industry."
