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.
