Clients Say

As the leader of the firm’s business law practice group and a member of the firm’s management committee, I bring a strategic perspective to every client matter. My leadership roles reflect my dedication to innovative problem-solving, collaboration, and delivering exceptional client service. 

I partner with individuals and businesses of all sizes across a wide range of industries to address their legal needs at every stage of growth and operation. My practice includes advising clients on a wide variety of legal needs including business formation, mergers and acquisitions, reorganizations, supply chain matters, employment relationships, and complex commercial transactions. 

Every client and transaction is unique, and I adapt my approach to tackle their specific challenges with creativity and precision. Whether reviewing contracts, crafting agreements, or navigating high-stakes negotiations, I am committed to solving problems, mitigating risks, and delivering results. 

Beyond providing legal counsel, I immerse myself in understanding how your business operates, analyzing the intricacies of supply chains, contracts, and organizational priorities to make sure the various aspects are considered. With responsiveness and dedication, I work tirelessly to meet deadlines, resolve issues, and provide practical solutions that align with your goals.
