The Equity Team
Brent Britton
Partner Per Wikipedia Brent "was influential in establishing the legal framework that ushered in the late 20th century Internet boom in San Francisco and Silicon Valley." Brent co-founded Equity's predecessor firm, BSC. A software engineer, he teaches at the University of Tampa business school and runs the Emerging Business and Technology law practice at GrayRobinson. |
Gil Silberman
Managing Partner Gil's career in law, engineering, and business has seen hundreds of startups and dozens of successful exits. He was among the first to buy an Apple, join LinkedIn, become Yelp Elite, and equity crowdfund. He started BSC along with Brent, and has founded software development companies, a satellite image processing company, and a creative agency. His dog, Lucca, belongs in a circus. Find him on Quora. |
Andrea Lamari
Chief Evangelist A budding young executive, Andrea intertwines people and resources together for Silicon Valley. In recent years she has been a Venture Partner at New League Capital and COO of a mobile POS company.

Pei Kuo
Associate Pei has worked in an outside general counsel capacity at multiple law firms before coming to Equity. He’s also worked in product and business development and user acquisition at healthcare and hospitality startups. When he’s not helping companies make it rain, he’s writing Kindle books and slowly becoming an obnoxious San Francisco biker. |

Associate Mike recently graduated from Pepperdine Law and comes to us with tremendous domain experience, having worked at other corporate law firms, and in-house at a venture capital fund and a multinational corporation. In a prior life, Mike was a hand model, worked in political campaigns, and lived in a flyover state. He heads up Equity’s LA office and is a contributing writer for the blog, Built in LA. |
