I have thirty years' experience in successfully resolving business disputes through litigation, mediation, and arbitration. My first focus in each case is preparation of a thorough, analytical and practical assessment, working with the client to develop an accurate picture and a strong, sensible strategy for optimal resolution at controlled cost. Each client has personal access to me throughout the representation, but we also have a "deep bench" of support in all relevant areas of legal expertise. My goals are to continue to improve in all aspects of the complicated problem-solving that we do, and to make each client a satisfied continuing member of a mutually beneficial network.. Business and partnership restructuring and separation; fiduciary and directors' and officers' disputes; patent, trademark and copyright litigation; bankruptcy litigation including claims resolution, contested matters and adversary proceedings; international arbitration.

I have had success applying an "outside-of-the-box" approach to complex legal problems.  In one recent example of this, my firm and I were able to successfully survive a statute of limitations motion to dismiss on grounds that our plaintiff client's claims accrued some fifteen years prior to the time he filed suit.  The key was a creative approach to interpreting governing trust language.. In addition, I strive always to show courtesy, kindness, compassion and professionalism to my clients.  I return calls and emails promptly.

I am a dynamic, purpose-driven attorney with experience in large and boutique law firms. I am skilled in drafting and negotiating various commercial agreements and implementing strategies to streamline the contracting process across all business lines. I am a team player supporting cross-functional teams to identify and resolve legal issues for corporate clients. I am a trusted advisor for clients in complex matters by conducting due diligence, evaluating and mitigating risks, balancing legal and business concerns, and providing non-confrontational, solutions-oriented strategies to resolve disputes and achieve results.. I approach my engagements from a practical, business-oriented perspective. I possess strong client and customer relationship skills, good business acumen, and the ability to make practical decisions while delivering exceptional service. By understanding my clients' business goals and objectives, I advise on the practical, day-to-day means of minimizing and managing risk, while also providing resolution strategies and solutions. I work in close consultation with my clients and I am mindful of the potential legal costs in terms of money and business disruption.
