Amundsen Davis, St. Louis

Finger, a member of Amundsen Davis’ corporate and securities practice group, handles private equity and venture capital investments, international licensing agreements and joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, equity financing and lending and commercial transactions. He has handled deals valued up to several hundred million dollars and worked with clients in the manufacturing, private equity, technology, agriculture and distribution industries.

He is a member of the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis’ business law section. Additionally, he serves on the board of directors of Midwestern Braille Volunteers.
