I provide legal counsel to the closely held business owner, family run companies, entrepreneurs, and “Version 2.0”* companies regarding all aspects of their business. Together with my team we provide legal advice regarding business law, management side employment law, commercial real estate, intellectual property and litigation strategy.. My clients vary from emerging entities just getting established to large organizations with complex needs. Typically clients come to me when they are either emerging from the “start-up” phase to "version 2.0" of their business and have outgrown their current attorney or they are simply looking for a firm that is more adapt at today’s faster-paced business environment - one that is agile, adaptable and able to provide work on a scope basis so that there are no “surprise” invoices.. Whether you are just starting out or you are a sophisticated business owner that is focusing on your succession planning so you can transition into retirement, my team uses plain language in our contracts and our communications (so you don't need a J.D. just to talk to us).. Regardless of where your business is today, the real value, the part that makes WPD different, comes from the level interaction, advice and problem solving we provide. That is a result of the in-depth working relationship we maintain. Our clients are not numbers. They are people with businesses and employees and we want to be an integral part of helping them achieve their goals.
