My Approach
As a corporate attorney, I bring extensive experience and a results-driven approach to general corporate law. My practice encompasses a wide range of corporate matters, including acting as outside general counsel for businesses of all sizes and industries. For closely-held business clients, I am dedicated to being an integral part of their team, offering support and guidance that fosters collaboration and seamless decision-making.
I am passionate about being the first call my clients make when they have a question, an idea, or a concern. Working closely with them, I help develop strategic plans tailored to their specific needs. Whether it’s launching a new business, negotiating complex contracts or planning corporate restructurings, my goal is to streamline the process, allowing my clients to concentrate on what they do best-running their business.
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A):
In the realm of mergers and acquisitions, I have successfully guided clients through high-value, multi-jurisdictional transactions, ensuring compliance and optimal outcomes. My expertise spans various industries, including technology, franchises, manufacturing, healthcare, business services and downstream energy, providing clients with a comprehensive understanding of the legal landscape and the ability to navigate it effectively.
When representing privately held and family-owned businesses, we understand that our clients have often devoted their entire careers to building their enterprises. We appreciate the profound significance of this dedication and strive to honor it by providing exceptional representation in the sale of their business. Our commitment is to ensure that the legacy and hard work of our clients are respected and preserved throughout the transaction process.
