  I have represented publicly traded corporations, privately held enterprises, and family-owned businesses in a broad range of multimillion-dollar transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. I have also advised issuers, underwriters, and investors in capital-raising initiatives, including debt and equity offerings, and project financings. Drawing on the extensive resources of Jones Walker LLP, I organize effective, boots-on-the-ground teams that deliver sophisticated legal counsel across a range of issues, while acting as a key advisor to corporate leaders and boards of directors.Today’s executives understand the value of social responsibility and the growing role of corporations in advancing the interests of all of their stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, business partners, and the communities in which they operate. With this in mind, I advise clients on corporate governance, ethics, and other board-level issues that help align the concerns and goals of all parties.
