I have over 12 years of experience assisting both local and international clients in protecting their legal positions in the highly competitive commercial environment. I am also CIPP/E certified. My experience spans various areas of law, and I am focused on helping small businesses and start-ups navigate legal impediments that may hinder the proper operation of their businesses.
