I represent clients in connection with debt and equity financing, public and private securities offerings, venture capital and growth equity financings, mergers and acquisitions, investment and capital allocation decisions, corporate governance decisions, and other general corporate matters. My practice is focused on helping clients navigate the complex legal challenges associated with financing a business at its various stages of life, and making smart decisions to keep it healthy.
My Approach
Helping my clients raise money for projects they are passionate about provides me with a unique opportunity to serve as a trusted business advisor, to provide options, and to make recommendations in a way that helps shape the trajectory of my clients’ businesses. I’m not here to simply recite the law back to you. Drawing upon my background in business, I enjoy helping entrepreneurs and business owners find solutions that blend sophisticated legal and financial analysis with functional business guidance, resulting in outcomes that protect legal interests while bolstering the bottom line. It’s about finding a solution that does more than just check boxes; it’s finding what your business truly needs in the long run and helping you attain it.
I’m proud to say I get my grit and tenacity from family’s cattle ranching background, my mother, and my grandmother, a hard-working certified public accountant and active rancher. My family’s endeavors instilled in me from an early age the perseverance required to turn aspirations into reality. I enjoy channeling that drive into my legal practice every day and strive to find the ideal solution, not just the first solution, for my clients. I understand that helping my clients secure financing, close an M&A transaction, or confront the myriad issues associated with growing a business are more than just business transactions; they’re something that could ultimately shape the future of my client’s business. I’m able to blend my business background and legal knowledge with my determination and persistence to support my clients throughout the lifecycle of their businesses.
I believe the legal system should be approachable for people and businesses of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds, and I push myself to engage with new and unique experiences. I was lucky enough to work at Práctica Legal Abogados in Madrid, Spain, and to assist with navigating the Spanish legal system. I am proud to rely upon those formative experiences to aid all my clients, regardless of what form their needs may take.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors and will try just about any outdoor activity. You’ll often find me hiking, backpacking, golfing, skiing, or fly fishing (both for trout and bass) whenever possible.
