With over three decades in corporate law, I have extensive experience in helping clients navigate a broad range of complex business transactions in the engineering, architectural, geotechnical and environmental industries. I focus my practice on mergers and acquisitions, business ownership transition, strategic transactions, licensing, real estate and environmental law. Further to the range of needs my clients have, I also counsel on employment issues, intellectual property, professional liability, and government contracting. Leveraging my legal expertise, a strong technical background in engineering and the practical experience of serving as outside General Counsel, I offer clients a strategic approach that aligns with clients’ immediate and long-term business objects. Business acumen coupled with decades of effective legal strategy afford me a vantage point to anticipate client needs and execute in a pragmatic, efficient and innovative manner. I have the great opportunity to both lead and educate others on business transactional law as the Chair of the Washington State Bar Association, Executive Committee of the Business Law Section and share my insights regularly as a speaker at conferences for business owners and across the legal community. As a member of LaWorld, an international consortium of law firms, I offer clients access to high quality legal counsel across the U.S. and around the globe. I have deep relationships with other member firms to support clients on transactional matters or in litigation, no matter where they do business. With access to highly-respected, independent legal expertise across most of the major commercial centers around the world – my clients always have the right attorneys in the right jurisdictions to help them navigate to the best outcomes!
