Hank J. Heyming
Hank leads the firm’s Data, Technology and AI Team. He advises companies at the intersection of data, technology, and AI, with a focus on regulated industries such as healthcare, insurance, and financial services. He represents both sides of the table: AI and technology companies bringing products to market, and large established organizations negotiating with software and AI vendors. He also handles the M&A and venture financings that fund and exit these businesses.
Hank brings an operator’s and an investor’s perspective to his legal work. He has served as general counsel of cloud, semiconductor, and greentech companies, has founded and run his own businesses, and is a Managing Director at Trolley Venture Partners, a venture capital fund. Clients value his ability to assess risk quickly, explain it clearly, and keep business goals at the center.
His technology and data practice includes software, SaaS, and AI licensing and services agreements, vendor negotiations for enterprise customers, data rights and privacy compliance (HIPAA, CMS and state requirements, state privacy and AI laws, GDPR, and the EU AI Act), copyright, DMCA, and Section 230 matters, and intellectual property matters in commercial transactions. His corporate practice includes M&A, venture and growth financings, private equity, joint ventures, and corporate governance. He has negotiated more than 120 corporate finance transactions and represented dozens of private companies in mergers and acquisitions, including exits to major technology corporations. He often steps in when deals become difficult or companies face a pivotal transition.
Hank works closely with founders, technologists, and investors, and he is at his best where innovation and speed matter most.
Outside of the office, Hank values time with his family and his miniature dachshunds. He can often be found on the tennis court or the ski slopes, depending on the season.
