In addition, I have a wide range of experience in areas such as creditors’ and debtors’ rights, commercial real estate transactions, commercial zoning and land use, business licensing, corporate lending, corporate workout, business litigation and business litigation mediation. My experience allows me to provide clients with strategic advice and business development input. My goal is to find the solutions that allow my clients’ businesses to avoid pitfalls and grow.
