My practice involves counseling businesses and individuals on a variety of contracts, such as business formation, technology/IP, real estate, leases, and even domestic relations agreements. Much of my practice is dedicated to litigation. As such, I approach contract and transactional work from a litigation perspective by advising clients of the risks involved in failing to develop proper contracts. It takes more than knowledge of the law to be a good lawyer. A good lawyer is honest and forthcoming with clients and has a counseling ethos. And, to me, a good lawyer stands in the shoes of the client when considering how to best serve that client. Whether my client is a business or an individual, I am passionate about helping my clients understand their rights, responsibilities, risks, and possibilities.

I help individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses draft, review, and negotiate contracts that protect their interests, clarify expectations, and support their goals. Whether you need a new agreement, help understanding a contract someone sent you, or stronger legal terms for your website or online business, I bring broad commercial legal experience and a practical, business-focused approach to your project. As an attorney with experience spanning private practice, government, and in-house counsel roles, I have worked on contracts ranging from straightforward business agreements to complex, high-value transactions involving major multinational companies. I currently serve as in-house counsel for a growing technology company, where I lead commercial contract negotiations and advise on privacy, data protection, intellectual property, and risk management. I also spent seven years providing fractional legal counsel to businesses, helping them navigate day-to-day commercial transactions and develop agreements and contract templates tailored to their needs. I can help with a wide range of contract needs, including: Contract drafting and review: Identifying potential risks, clarifying obligations, and ensuring agreements reflect your business objectives. Contract negotiation: Reviewing proposed terms, identifying unfavorable provisions, and helping you negotiate more balanced agreements. Business and service agreements: Consulting and independent contractor agreements, professional services agreements, client and vendor contracts, and general business agreements. Confidentiality and intellectual property: NDAs, licensing agreements, content distribution agreements, and contracts addressing ownership and permitted use of creative work or other intellectual property. Partnerships and business relationships: Collaboration agreements, teaming arrangements, distribution agreements, and other agreements that define how parties will work together. Website and online business terms: Terms of Service, Terms and Conditions, website terms, and privacy policies tailored to your business model, online activities, and applicable legal requirements. Technology and SaaS agreements: Software and subscription agreements, technology licensing, data protection provisions, and vendor agreements. My experience includes working on both sides of commercial transactions, so I understand the importance of protecting your interests while keeping agreements practical and workable. I have negotiated agreements across a broad range of industries, developed contract templates and playbooks, and helped businesses address complex legal issues without losing sight of their commercial priorities. My approach is straightforward: understand what you need, identify the issues that matter, and deliver clear, thoughtful legal work tailored to your situation. I aim to make the legal process easier to navigate by explaining important provisions in plain English, flagging meaningful risks, and focusing on practical solutions rather than unnecessary complexity. Whether you are starting a business, engaging a contractor, entering a new partnership, reviewing an agreement before signing, or establishing the legal terms for an online business, I bring the experience and perspective to help you move forward with greater confidence.
