As a member of the Business Section, Rose helps entrepreneurs and their investors form and finance high growth companies, navigate legal requirements, and avoid common missteps.

As a business advisor, she understands that business is never without risk. She enjoys educating entrepreneurs and investors on legal (and often practical) risks and helping them acknowledge their true risk tolerance. Rose is also skilled at facilitating agreement on how to allocate risk. This allows her clients to quickly get back to the true work at hand: getting their business up-and-running or to the next level of growth.

Rose routinely works with company clients for their entire lifecycle, including formation, equity and debt financings, acquisition, public listing, and public company reporting. She also works with venture capital funds on private equity financings, secondary-market acquisitions, portfolio company corporate governance, and exit considerations. She has extensive experience representing both companies and investors in late-stage private financings and IPOs.

Rose has also served as primary outside counsel for several public companies. She advises public company clients on corporate governance and securities law, including SEC and exchange compliance, insider trading, executive and equity compensation, stock plan administration, stockholder proposals, and investor relations. She regularly attends board and committee meetings and manages corporate secretary functions.

Rose has a strong commitment to pro bono and volunteer activities. She has acted as corporate governance counsel for nonprofit foundations and enjoys volunteering for all types of business plan and entrepreneurship programs.

Before joining Moye White, Rose was a special counsel at Cooley LLP in Palo Alto, California.
