Eli Albrecht

Eli advises boards, buyers, sellers, and sponsors on the M&A and corporate dimensions of the firm's litigation work – including Delaware fiduciary-duty issues, deal-structure questions that affect post-close litigation exposure, and the corporate record that becomes the trial record when a deal goes sideways.

Before founding Albrecht Law, Eli was an M&A lawyer at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and DLA Piper. He has closed hundreds of transactions and billions in aggregate deal value, representing private equity, independent sponsors, family offices, searchers, and buyers and sellers of businesses. That depth is the reason the firm can litigate against the largest PE sponsors and their counsel without learning the deal mechanics on the client's dime – Eli has already negotiated the same provisions, on the same kinds of deals, against many of the same firms.

Eli is also the Managing Partner of Albrecht Law, a separate firm dedicated to providing sophisticated, client-focused advice on complex transactions on a fixed-fee model with broken-deal forgiveness. There he leads the M&A practice, representing buyers and sellers from small-business sales to middle-market private equity deals, with a focus on deal efficiency, risk protection, and value creation.

Earlier in his career, Eli served in the IDF special forces.

Eli is admitted to practice in the District of Columbia and Maryland. He is not admitted to practice in Florida.
