Meet Dinesh Melwani

 

Fun facts:
I have lived in each of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Belize, Canada, Japan, and the United States for at least one year. Each of my two kids has an American passport, a Canadian passport, and a Person of Indian Origin Card. I am hoping to teach the kids many languages, including Arabic, English, French, Hindi, Mandarin and Spanish, so they can make very successful spy movies.   

If I weren’t a lawyer, I would be …
helping my wife further develop her singing and content creation career.

My favorite app is …
Some current favorites (no judging!):

  • TikTok (guilty pleasure)

  • Reddit (what are the people saying?)

  • Instagram (follow the clients!)

  • Discord (gotta stay connected.)

The most unusual thing in my office is …
Will Perkins - he’s quite unusual, and I have the pleasure of sharing an office with him.

Companies I have helped grow and thrive

Over 18+ years, I’ve built a significant transactional practice working with US and international innovators in the technology, life sciences, and energy sectors. As a strategic advisor to start-ups and emerging companies, I provide experienced counsel on entity formation, financing, mergers and acquisitions, and other key corporate matters. You can find me sharing insights on these topics as an adjunct-professor at Boston University’s School of Law and at speaking engagements and workshops at MIT Sloan School of Management, MassChallenge, The Capital Network, and other venues. I also draw on this experience to represent athletes, entertainers and other clients across the sports and entertainment industries, counseling individuals and organizations on equity investments, branding agreements, and other strategic transactions that advance their business and entrepreneurial goals. Reach out to talk about forming your company and discussing funding it through angel, seed, or venture capital financing.  Once that is done, we can discuss how you might be able to build your brand whether it be by means of a celebrity endorsement or otherwise. Always happy to chat – you need only reach out. Contact info above!
