Strong foundations create scalable businesses.

Professional Background

I advise emerging companies, growth-stage businesses and investors throughout the corporate lifecycle, from formation and venture financings to acquisitions, exits and day-to-day governance. Throughout my career, I have represented clients in technology, entertainment and life sciences, helping them navigate complex legal and business issues at critical stages of growth. I enjoy partnering with founders as an extension of their business team, helping them solve practical legal issues while keeping long-term growth and execution in mind.

My Advice to Entrepreneurs
