On episode 20, we kickoff our “Lawyering in a Recession” series with Morgan Beller, a General Partner at the venture capital firm, NFX, and Jordan Roberts, a partner at Fenwick & West. 
Morgan and Jordan discuss dealmaking in a recession from the venture investor’s point of view, how our current bear market has influenced deal terms and the evaluative process for venture investors, and how venture investors are approaching their portfolio companies. They also discuss how lawyers interested in the venture capital space can position themselves to make a potential pivot.

Season 1 explores lawyering throughout a company's life cycle, from startup formation, its middle growth stages, and the exit stages via mergers & acquisitions & initial public offerings. We interview lawyers from some of the elite Emerging Companies & Venture Capital law firms, learn what practicing is like at each stage of the corporate life cycle, and discuss common legal issues that founders face.
