Patrick Diehl

Matterhorn Legal, LLP is a boutique law firm with expertise in mergers & acquisitions, venture capital and private equity financings and outsourced general counsel services. Our team has over 20 years of experience counseling clients on complex transactions ranging from general startup matters to $25 billion dollar acquisitions. Our team has worked at some of world's leading law firms, including: Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Cravath, Swaine & Moore, Cooley, Fenwick and West and Gunderson Dettmer. We have deep, multidisciplinary experience in a range of industries, and have successfully closed over 200 M&A, private equity and venture financing transactions and counseled nearly 100 venture-backed companies and investment firms. At our core, we believe that each client — no matter the stage of development — and each transaction — no matter the size — deserves quality, experienced and attentive legal support. We started Matterhorn because we felt the big law model was broken for early stage companies, small funds and mid- to small-market M&A transactions. At Matterhorn, these are our primary focus, not an afterthought. And because we staff leanly, work efficiently, and eliminate unnecessary overhead and fixed cost, we offer a comparable level of service as a larger firm, at a fraction of the cost.
