Amy Mastrobattista was quoted in an article addresssing what VCs look for in companies they want to invest in:

Before approaching venture capitalists, a firm that is seeking funding should first seek some good advice, says Amy Mastrobattista, an attorney with Ruberto, Israel & Weiner PC in Boston.

"It's really important to have good people around you that you trust to help you. You should get your team assembled sooner rather than later," she says.

Those experts may include attorneys and accountants as well as experts in a market or regulatory niche a business will be competing in. "From there, a business needs to prepare to spend hours upon hours honing a business plan," Mastrobattista says. "When it comes to investing, everything old is new again."

The article entitled VCs look at the team as much as product, market, written by Keith Regan and appeared in the June 20th issue of the Boston Business Journal.

Mike Gatlin appeared in the article entitled New Law imperils collection of some business debts written by Denise Magnell:

"This law makes a great deal of sense if you've gotten one of the subprime mortgages to finance your home," said real estate attorney Michael Gatlin, a shareholder with the law firm Ruberto, Israel & Weiner in Boston. "The problem is, the way it's written, the law also applies to corporate entities. When I saw that in the law, I thought, 'It must be missing something ... this can't be right.' " 

The article addressed a new state law concerning homeowners facing foreclosure. It appeared in the April 18, 2008 issue of the Boston Business Journal.
