In less than three years since first joining the company as an intern in 2013, Ghazarian held the positions of Law Clerk and Deputy General Counsel before being named DreamHost&#8217;s General Counsel in April 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After getting his bachelor&#8217;s degree from the University of Southern California in 2010, a law degree from Southwestern Law School in 2014, and passing the California State Bar exam in 2015, Ghazarian was appointed General Counsel by DreamHost&#8217;s board of directors without hesitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m thrilled to join DreamHost as General Counsel,\u201d said Ghazarian. &#8220;It&#8217;s rare to find a company that holds the interests of its users in such high regard, and that&#8217;s what originally reeled me in. DreamHost works tirelessly to defend the privacy and First Amendment rights of its users, and I&#8217;m excited to help them carry their mission forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ghazarian assumes responsibility for leading due diligence operations for all M&amp;A activity, defends the company against patent trolls and unnecessary litigation, and will work to defend DreamHost&#8217;s customers&#8217; right to free speech in accordance with DreamHost&#8217;s own strict support of the First Amendment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I may not be a lawyer, but Chris is,\u201d said Brett Dunst, DreamHost&#8217;s VP of Brand &amp; Community. &#8220;I truly believe that with all my heart. End of story, Your Honor. Objection! Sustained. Overruled! Not guilty! With extreme prejudice! FORCE MAJEURE! These are just some of the many phrases I expect Chris to throw around in his role as General Counsel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About DreamHost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 1997 DreamHost has helped entrepreneurs and developers the world over bring their dreams to life on the Internet.
