Prior to joining SRF, Mr. D’Angelo worked with publicly-traded company Document Security Systems, Inc. in a variety of roles, including Vice-President and General Counsel. Prior to joining DSS, Mr. D’Angelo practiced corporate law for several years, and also served as Managing Director at Prudential Financial, heading its Western New York financial operation and overseeing more than 60 sales associates and managers.

Mr. D’Angelo will represent SRF’s clients in securities law, corporate governance, commercial contracts, general corporate law, mergers & acquisitions, IPOs , technology licensing and corporate finance matters.

“Sichenzia Ross offers me the perfect transition from my role as in-house general counsel while providing an ideal platform for me to continue representing DSS as outside counsel under the SRF umbrella. I have known Greg Sichenzia for years, as we attended law school together and have collaborated professionally in the past, and I am excited to join a nationally-recognized corporate and securities law firm with such a diverse roster of innovative public company clients,” said Mr. D’Angelo. “I am confident that my experience coupled with Sichenzia Ross’ reputation for excellence will help me to continue to grow the firm’s national corporate practice.”
