Clients Say

As a business law attorney with a calm and analytical approach, I work closely with clients to identify the crux of their challenges and craft clear, effective solutions. Collaboration is key to my practice, ensuring we reach practical outcomes that align with each client’s objectives. 

My background spans working with companies of all sizes, from local startups to global enterprises, across a variety of industries. I handle legal issues related to mergers and acquisitions, contracting, intellectual property, and licensing, leveraging my technical and business acumen to address complex matters. Prior to law school, I worked as an engineer in pharmaceutical manufacturing, an experience that continues to inform my ability to analyze data, assess obstacles, and guide clients through intricate legal landscapes. 

I pride myself on being resourceful, detail-oriented, and technologically savvy, allowing me to streamline processes and provide innovative solutions. Clients value my steady demeanor and thoughtful insights, describing me as a team player who brings intelligence, integrity, and a deep commitment to their success. 

By asking the right questions and exploring the full context, I aim to provide clarity and direction in every matter. Whether assisting with a major transaction or resolving day-to-day legal concerns, I am dedicated to delivering results that help clients move forward with confidence.
