Denver, Colorado, United States

I help growing companies and their owners with legal needs through all stages of corporate growth and change, including start-up formation, intellectual property development and protection, financing, strategic acquisitions and sales, and exit strategies. My practice is shaped by my unique experiences both as an experienced outside large law firm M&A and financing attorney and as a senior corporate leader managing all legal licensing, acquisitions, growth capital, legal needs for sales and product development. I understand many of the challenges, opportunities and growth strategies that companies experience due to my years of experience inside corporations. I have lived with and worked side by side with founders, entrepreneurs, executives, employees and investors through the unpredictability of growing companies and I have also lead companies through successful growth and exits as an advisor.
