He has vast experience with start-ups and in the the videogame space is a strong fit with Pillsbury’s capabilities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Mr. Karamali has acted as outside general counsel to many privately-held companies across a range of industries including the video game, cloud computing, mobile, biotechnology, semiconductor and medical device sectors. He frequently represents clients in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East on cross-border transactions.
