John Billiris is a partner at Montgomery McCracken, where he represents high-growth companies as outside general counsel, embedding directly with leadership teams as a strategic partner rather than merely a lawyer for hire. Billiris has built a practice centered on negotiating commercial, intellectual property, and data agreements with Fortune 500 companies for clients in the technology, advertising, and pharmaceutical industries, and building contracting processes that integrate seamlessly with business teams. He counsels clients on artificial intelligence, intellectual property, and data privacy, including ownership of AI-generated work, the data rights that support AI initiatives, and the policies and frameworks that let companies adopt new tools with confidence. His practice also encompasses corporate governance and support for mergers and acquisitions transactions, including several deals valued at more than $100 million.
Billiris has served for years as lead outside counsel for a healthcare technology company valued at over $100 million, working directly with the company's Chief Financial Officer and business teams on its legal and strategic needs. He also guided an advertising agency client through a period of significant growth, from under $3 million to $25 million in revenue, and represented the company through its subsequent $80 million sale.
