At Rimon, Mr. Miller will be joining experienced International Transactions and M&A partners, including John Hanley, Mark Lee, Mac Waldbaum, Geoffrey Perusse and Ray Garcia who also joined Rimon this year. Rimon’s international team is based in four countries in Europe, China, the Middle East, and the United States and extends to several other countries through the Rimon Alliance.
“We are very excited to bring Sam into our international team. His experience in the United Kingdom and South Africa, along with his extensive experience with clients throughout Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, as well as the United States, brings a depth of international experience that will serve our clients across the globe,” said Michael Moradzadeh, CEO of Rimon.
“Rimon stood out for both the quality and depth of the attorneys on its team and its service offering, particularly in the corporate and technology space, coupled with its ability to offer a refreshing model for supporting and servicing client needs in an efficient and flexible manner. What Rimon has managed to achieve in a relatively short time is impressive, and I look forward to working with its excellent and closely-knit team,” said Mr. Miller.
Mr. Miller is licensed in California, England and Wales and in South Africa, and has extensive corporate and commercial transactional experience in all three jurisdictions.
In addition to his legal practice, Mr. Miller founded the Brenda Lucille Miller UCLA South African Education Fund for Movement Disorders in conjunction with UCLA’s Center for World Health (now UCLA’s Global Health Education and Research Program).
