With clients’ goals in mind, my mindfulness, attentiveness, and creativity can help a business thrive in the complex matrix of laws and rules that govern highly regulated industries.Licensed in Washington and California, I have a wide-ranging knowledge of regulations and multijurisdictional proficiencies that allow me to help clients along the West Coast thrive under a complex matrix of laws and regulations. As laws and regulations change and evolve—causing transactions to become increasingly nuanced and sophisticated—my ability to provide experienced and knowledgeable counsel across jurisdictions has become all the more important for my clients.My transactional law experience is robust and includes drafting and negotiating franchise agreements and other contracts with local governments, mergers and acquisitions, entity structure and formation, and corporate governance. I regularly negotiate and develop all forms of corporate documents, including license options, purchase and sales agreements, operating and shareholder agreements, and the myriad inter-business contracts that form the matrix of legal assurances that companies need to successfully do business in highly regulated industries.My extensive regulatory knowledge and ability to see beyond the face of the issue at hand gives my clients an advantage when their goals require working with regulatory agencies or state and local governments to develop and interpret policy, rules, and law. As an active member of multiple trade and industry associations, I regularly help his clients navigate the rulemaking process, draft and coauthor legislative bills, and counsel my clients on strategic considerations to advance their interests and meet their goals.Outside of the office, I am a devoted gym-goer, an avid gamer, and an enthusiastic piano player.
