Eli Albrecht

Boards, buyers, sellers, and sponsors rely on Eli for the M&A and corporate side of the firm’s litigation – Delaware fiduciary-duty questions, deal-structure choices that drive post-closing exposure, and the corporate record that turns into the trial record when a deal goes wrong.

Before founding Albrecht Law, Eli practiced M&A at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and DLA Piper, and he has since closed hundreds of transactions representing billions in aggregate deal value, for private equity funds, independent sponsors, family offices, searchers, and buyers and sellers of businesses. That experience comes straight into the case: Eli has negotiated these exact provisions, on these kinds of deals, across the table from many of the sponsors and firms that later appear in post-closing disputes.

Eli is also Managing Partner of Albrecht Law, a separate firm that handles complex transactions for a fixed fee, with broken-deal forgiveness. He runs its M&A practice, which covers everything from small-business sales to middle-market private equity deals, for buyers and sellers alike.

Eli’s earlier career included service in the IDF special forces.
