About
I bring almost two decades of legal experience to my role as founding shareholder and managing director of Gellis Law Group, a white-glove, New York-based law firm. In addition to working with promising technology start ups and international clients, our firm helps small- and mid-size cap corporate clients outsource tasks typically handled by in-house counsel.

As an executive vice-president and general counsel of the London-based Midland Oil and Gas Limited (UK), I was in charge of all legal aspects of the company and its subsidiaries’ operations in the U.K., U.S., Eastern Europe and Central Asia.My experience includes risk management, negotiation, and coordination of complex international transactions, including joint ventures, private placements, and production sharing agreements with governmental entities, as well as all aspects of investor, public, and government relations.A graduate of the Stern School of Business at New York University and The Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, I serve on the boards of several U.S.-based charities and associations, including No More Fear Foundation, Kids in Need Foundation, and the Autism Research and Therapy Foundation.To learn more about Gellis Law Group, visit our website at www.gellisgroup.com.
