I am available for data privacy and cybersecurity projects. I am CIPP/US certified through the IAPP. I have also taken coursework focused on the GDPR through the London School of Economics. In my past career I was an intelligence officer. I am well acquainted with information security best practices and I have experience developing and implementing administrative controls for classified information and PII. I have worked extensively overseas and I am comfortable integrating with remote teams. Feel free to reach out any time if you have any additional questions on my areas of expertise or professional background.

I am available to advise on entity formation, contracts, and employment policies. I am also comfortable litigating business disputes including partnership disputes and employment cases. Prior to opening my current practice, I worked for several years in a small civil litigation practice focused on employment matters and civil litigation. I attended law school at the University of Colorado, and I went to the University of British Columbia for my undergraduate education.

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 graduated from Georgetown Law in 2009 and have been practicing for fourteen years. I primarily work on commercial contracts. I specialize in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating MSAs for services companies, specializing in SaaS agreements. I have drafted online terms of service, acceptance use policies, and privacy policies for clients across a range of industries. In addition, I counsel clients on NDAs, non-solicitation/non-competition agreements, employment contracts, and commercial and residential leases. Prior to opening my own practice, I worked for four years at one of the most prestigious law firms in the world, an appellate litigation firm, the federal government, and one of the country's most renowned government contracts firms. I live in Boulder but represent clients nationwide. Although I have represented numerous Fortune 500 companies and the Defense Department, my passion is advising startups and small businesses. Like so many of my clients, I am an entrepreneur and have owned and operated three businesses (my law firm and two companies outside the legal field). I understand the needs and concerns of small business owners. I look forward to working with you.
