“Stealth Mode” Web 2.0 Startup
Exceptional Web 2.0 lawyer! I’ve been working with Antone on setting up my social Web startup and have found his knowledge, guidance, and support invaluable. He’s a great resource for any entrepreneur who wants to get it right out of the gate and have peace of mind on all of the legal aspects of starting and operating a consumer Internet business. Highly recommend.

Intermix Media, Inc.
Always the team player, Antone was great to work with at Intermix. I worked with him on many complex deals, and he was involved in the compliance review of SEC docs.
In all cases, the wealth of experience and attention to detail that he brought to the table supported what was an aggressive organization, and a successful one, due to the extraordinary efforts by all on the team of which Antone was a primary member. We could not have done it without him!

Gemstar-TV Guide(Nasdaq: GMST)
I worked closely with Antone during an intense time at Gemstar-TV Guide. The company was undergoing multiple levels of review by the SEC, DOJ, IRS, which required four years of restating SEC documents,
financial process retooling and the initial establishment and certification of our Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance. Antone was instrumental in this process and was always calm and cool under the pressure.

Excite@Home (Nasdaq: ATHM)
While on M&A, joint venture, securities/corporate governance and bankruptcy projects,
and despite (1) the size of Excite@Home, (2) an adverse business climate and (3) the complexities of operating at the nexus of the fledging Internet, established cable and telephony industries, Antone demonstrated an ability to interface on complex matters with both adversaries and E@H executives across all levels and functional groups.
