Not only have I represented clients in hundreds of mission-critical transactional matters across all different industries, but my practice is also shaped by having served as lead counsel to clients in multi-million-dollar complex commercial and intellectual-property litigation. This unique experience informs my transactional practice by allowing me to provide valuable real-world insight.
