I am a trial lawyer and former Certified Public Accountant (CPA) who applies a business-minded approach to complex business disputes. I have represented clients in various industries, including chemical, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and financial. Using my experience leading teams in large corporations, I help my clients navigate complex litigation matters to achieve their company goals and objectives. As a trial attorney, I have served as first and second chair in cases involving commercial disputes and products liability claims. I also have experience representing clients in commercial and consumer arbitrations. My experience includes engagements as counsel and lead counsel in class actions, complex fraud schemes, false claims defense, unfair and deceptive business practices, and executive-level employment matters. I have particular knowledge and experience in assisting clients with internal investigations and analyses related to government enforcement actions, discrimination claims, and regulatory compliance matters. Throughout my legal career, I have been actively involved in and served as a leader in various bar associations. Most notably, I am currently serving as President of the Boston Bar Foundation and have previously served as President of the Massachusetts Black Lawyers Association, a state-wide bar association focused on advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal industry. I have also served on the Massachusetts Judicial Nominating Commission under two different administrations, screening applicants for judicial nominations. In addition, I devote my time to pro bono affairs, including assisting the Kids In Need of Defense (KIND) and the Innocence Project with criminal appeals involving factual innocence.The statements and views expressed here are my own and do not reflect those of Morgan Lewis.
