Steve Rothman provided excellent legal services to Gevo at the earliest stages of its formation. He guided us in setting up the company, negotiating a license with Caltech and raising venture capital financing. Steve helped us build the foundation of a great company that transitioned university research from an idea into a publicly traded company. His knowledge and experience set him apart from others providing legal services to university based start-up companies.
