Businesses and Investors: Welcome!. I help business owners, managers, and investors who are either based in Arizona or who wish to conduct business in Arizona. My orientation to the business purpose of the transaction at hand allows me to address not only the needs of that transaction, but also to see how the deal fits into my client's larger goals. By understanding those larger goals, I am able to offer practical advice directed at the client's short- and long-term objectives, with the risks facing the client in mind.
