As a litigator of 10-years, I began my career in plaintiffs’ personal injury work and, after three years, transitioned to an in-house position at a major ski company in Colorado, primarily managing injury defense and commercial disputes. My time working for a large company gave me a deep understanding of what is required to aid a business as an attorney and employee. I appreciate becoming proficient regarding an organization’s business practices and working to further its objectives and becoming an expert regarding a single client. I then transitioned to an outside counsel role, which gave me exposure to different types of businesses and their legal needs. At my current firm, I manage a broad commercial and civil litigation practice. I also assist clients on transaction matters when the opportunity arises, and I am trending my practice and career search in that direction.

I help businesses and individuals manage risk, bring greater clarity to their business decisions, and achieve successful outcomes in high-stakes litigation.. I am just as comfortable in the courtroom as I am in a boardroom. I argue and try cases before judges or juries, in court, every year. My litigation practice occasionally has me advocating on behalf of clients before regulatory panels and in administrative venues. For my clients not involved in litigation or needing to bring or defend a lawsuit, it is my goal to try to resolve issues and avoid disputes altogether. Having taken cases through verdict, I look at risk in a holistic manner from, inking the deal to defending it in court should it become necessary.. I regularly handle commercial cases and deals involving: --negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and fraud; --contracts, partnership and sales agreements; --construction matters including contracts, payment claims, and defects; and, --employment related matters including trade secret misappropriation and enforcement and defense of non-compete and non-solicitation agreements.. I also handle real estate deals and disputes involving: --HOAs; --real estate contract disputes; --development ventures and related contract disputes; and,. --landlord-tenant relationships.
