I am fully committed to understanding client needs, their organization and culture, and providing practical advice amidst the complexities of the banking industry. I believe that (more often than not) the simplest answer is the right one and I keep my focus on what matters the most.As part of my law practice, I partner with banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions throughout the western United States. The clients I represent range from small community banks in the Pacific Northwest to large regional banks and credit unions. On a typical day, I counsel clients on matters involving regulatory compliance, operational questions, corporate structure, and vendor contracts. I also work closely with my clients in their strategic planning and help facilitate mergers and acquisitions, which includes drafting definitive agreements through filings with the bank regulators to ensure smooth transitions.Outside of the office, I enjoy staying active and healthy through a variety of activities, including basketball, triathlon, and skiing.
