Areas of Practice
I provide senior-level, partner-led counsel on mergers and acquisitions, helping clients navigate transactions with confidence, clarity, and a practical business perspective. Whether handling a straightforward acquisition or a highly complex strategic deal, I work closely with clients to understand their goals and guide them through each stage of the process with thoughtful, experienced counsel.
I represent buyers, sellers, investors, and management teams in acquisitions, divestitures, mergers, joint ventures, and strategic investments across a wide range of industries and deal sizes. From initial structuring and due diligence through negotiation, financing, and closing, I stay personally involved in every aspect of the transaction to help keep deals moving efficiently while protecting my clients’ interests.
With more than two decades of experience, I offer clients the attention, responsiveness, and continuity that come from working directly with a senior attorney from start to finish. I believe strong relationships and clear communication are just as important as technical legal skill, particularly during significant business decisions and transitions. My goal is not only to help clients complete successful transactions, but to serve as a trusted advisor who helps position their businesses for long-term growth and success.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Fractional General Counsel
I work with companies as a fractional legal advisor, providing the kind of steady, senior-level counsel you’d expect from an experienced General Counsel—without the need for a full-time hire. With more than 20 years of experience, including serving as a Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, I focus on helping businesses navigate real-world legal needs with clarity and common sense, offering practical, business-oriented advice across various legal needs.
Clients work directly with me, which means no handoffs and no layers—just continuity, responsiveness, and a real understanding of what matters most to the business. Over time, I get to know how each company thinks, where it’s headed, and how it approaches risk, so the advice is always grounded and relevant.
The fractional model allows clients to scale legal support as needed—whether for ongoing counsel, specific projects, or periods of transition—while maintaining access to high-level expertise. The result is disciplined, cost-effective legal leadership that helps businesses operate confidently and grow with purpose.
Corporate Law
I provide senior-level, partner-led counsel on a wide range of corporate law matters, working closely with companies, founders, and boards as a trusted advisor throughout the life of their businesses. My practice is built around delivering sophisticated legal guidance in a way that is practical, responsive, and highly personal, with a strong focus on helping clients achieve meaningful business results.
For more than two decades, I have helped clients launch new ventures, navigate growth, manage day-to-day corporate matters, and address the challenges that come with running and growing a business. I advise on entity formation and structuring, corporate governance, shareholder and operating agreements, contract drafting and review, and strategic business issues, while also counseling boards and management teams on fiduciary duties and important decision-making.
I believe effective legal counsel should support—not slow down—business goals. My approach is collaborative and business-focused, centered on understanding each client’s priorities and the people involved in the decision-making process, and leaning in when challenges or critical decisions arise. I work to help clients clearly understand the legal and business issues they face, providing practical, thoughtful guidance on contracts, risk management, governance, and regulatory matters so they can make informed decisions and move forward with confidence.
