I'm passionate about working with motivated owners to reach their business and exit goals. Partnering with me gives my clients access to my network of trusted advisors. I don't charge to make connections, and I don't take referral fees. I'm proud to introduce my clients to people who I know do great work and treat my clients with respect. And if I don't have the exact contact, I'll work to find the resource my clients need. That's part of what makes me a great business lawyer. Part of my service is working with owners and executives as their "outside general counsel." That's an industry term that means I'm the lawyer that owners and decision-makers come to as-needed for their company's everyday legal needs. That includes advising them on employment issues, disputes with other companies, new laws within their space, and - most of all - drafting and negotiating a lot of contracts.Businesses also partner with me when they're just getting started. I do a lot of trademark work, from filing for registration with the USPTO, maintaining trademark portfolios, and prosecuting and defending trademark infringement claims. My trademark experience gives me an edge that most attorneys don't have when advising businesses at their formation stage. Ultimately, I advise small-and-medium size businesses on choosing the right legal entity structure and terms within their formation documents.I'm actively involved with commercial real estate. I represent buyers and sellers, landlords and tenants, and lenders and borrowers. Sometimes those transactions are part of my work advising clients through company purchases or sales (also referred to as "M&A"). Related, I prepare business owners for their "exit", that is, how they plan to move on from their business. All of my work experience makes me a great partner for those serious about exit planning.In short, I have the knowledge, skills and experience to lead businesses through all stages of their lifecycle. I've had the pleasure of working with businesses of all sizes from a diverse group of industries. I draw from my litigation background to guide my clients from the many pitfalls in the ever-changing legal landscape. My clients receive excellent work product, outstanding service and added value of being a part of my network. That's what makes me a great business lawyer.
