San Francisco, California

I focus my practice on the representation of public and private corporations or board committees in connection with corporate compliance matters, regulatory investigation and enforcement actions, as well as in complex civil litigation. I have extensive experience in designing and conducting internal investigations relating to compliance breaches, securities and financial fraud, whistleblower allegations, employment matters, and regulatory and audit inquiries. I also regularly represent witnesses, subjects and targets in connection with grand jury investigations in both state and federal criminal matters. On the civil side, I advise clients in connection with professional liability claims, civil fraud cases, and shareholder disputes.
