What I Do

I partner with business owners and their trusted advisors to navigate the most pivotal and risk-intensive moments in the corporate lifecycle. This includes preparing a new entity for growth, structuring key financing, and providing the final legal work needed to fix a failed Operating Agreement or manage a clean partner separation. With over 35 years of corporate experience, I deliver the legal clarity and custom structure required to act decisively, avoiding the cost and chaos of predictable disputes.

Who I Work With

Business Owners: From startups to established companies, I help owners build a solid foundation, manage contracts and compliance, and prepare for financing, growth, or ownership transitions.

Trusted Advisors: I partner with accountants, financial advisors, and consultants who want their clients to have a reliable legal roadmap for transactions and long-term success.

How We Work Together

Every engagement begins with clarity.

1. Initial Consultation – A confidential strategy call to define your goals and scope.
2. Strategic Review & Risk Audit – A focused review of your company’s core governance and transaction documents to spot systemic flaws and latent dispute triggers.
3. Strategic Action Plan – A prioritized roadmap with fixes and recommendations.
4. Legal Execution– Practical legal work to draft, negotiate, and complete contracts, financing or ownership transactions.

Fractional GC

Beyond projects, I offer Fractional GC services to ensure high-growth clients receive continuous, expert counsel on retainer. This provides strategic advising and ongoing legal support—on demand and at a predictable cost.
