About
After graduating from Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania, I have worked at the top law firms in the country, as well as in-house at billion dollar companies. I am a responsive and reliable corporate attorney with over 20 years of legal experience.

I have expertise in many areas related to corporate transactions and commercial agreements, as well as in setting up and running a start-up company.

My strength is being able to provide a thorough accurate response quickly. For a client, this means less time being billed.

My goal is to add value to what you are wanting to accomplish.

"I have known and worked with Jose on a range of business issues since ~2001. My business context with Jose has included a variety of legal matters including shareholder agreements, employment agreements and more. Jose is a thorough and thoughtful attorney that would be an asset to most large businesses. Jose uses his keen intellect to quickly distill the essential elements of a variety of contracts, so that an intelligent business person (without much legal experience) can understand what the issues are. He can help business teams quickly focus on the key decisions they must make and the trade-offs that they should consider. Jose is diligent and has a sense of urgency about his work. He is a team player able to work with people from a variety of backgrounds."
