Hello, and thank you for your time.
As a long-time business attorney, my approach is solution-oriented and entrepreneurial. I help clients negotiate, structure, draft and close complex commercial contracts, M&A, business and corporate transactions and real estate deals. With my assistance, my clients minimize risk and close deals quickly and strategically, with the best possible terms.
I can serve as your Virtual General Counsel or freelance attorney. I carry professional liability insurance and I offer flat-fees and low hourly fees, giving my clients predictability and allowing them to close under budget.
