David R. Rudd

David Rudd assists public and private companies operating in domestic and foreign markets with negotiations of a wide range of corporate transactions and related financings, including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, minority investments, strategic alliances, asset sales and purchases, private equity and venture capital investments, intra-company mergers and reorganizations, and debt and equity financings.

In addition to transactional work, David advises clients on corporate governance, creating effective, compliant business strategies and systems for smooth operations that benefit all key stakeholders. His diverse industry experience spans technology, biotechnology, food, manufacturing, cosmetics, hospitality, and sports.

Regardless of industry, level of complexity, or the geographic scope of a transaction, David prioritizes favorably positioning clients with sensitivity to their specific goals, challenges, and opportunities. He spent more than a decade of his practice operating out of Mexico City, gaining unique cultural insight, which contributes to his in-depth understanding of cross-border transactions and high adaptability while operating within the international legal space.

Outside of private practice, David lectures at the University of Utah’s David Eccles Graduate School of Business. An established and highly sought-after thought leader, he also regularly presents at major conferences on international and domestic business and legal matters and important cross-border legal subjects, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and export/import controls, and actively participates as a panelist in events sponsored by World Trade Center Utah.
