John E. Coughlan – Partner
I am a startup, corporate and M&A lawyer based in Seattle. I represent clients in a variety of industries and at all stages of the business lifecycle—from formation, to capital raising, and through exit.
I live in Woodinville, Washington with my wife and two sons. I’m an avid golfer, college football fan, and homebrewer. I’ll happily share a sample of whatever I have on tap in my kegerator in exchange for your honest feedback.
