About
For over two decades I have represented thousands of businesses and individuals in legal matters. I have provided legal guidance to clients covering a broad span of business issues, including entity formation, contract drafting and negotiation, shareholder disputes, joint ventures, mergers, tax matters, intellectual property protection, commercial litigation, appeals, asset sales, bankruptcy, dissolution, regulatory matters, and employment issues.

I have drafted and presented legislation to a foreign head of state, testified before the FDA, written and published a legal book and many articles on a wide range of legal topics, served on the… read more board of directors for a peer reviewed medical journal and also a publicly traded company, and spoken on legal matters at countless legal seminars and conferences throughout the US and the world. I have been interviewed and quoted on legal matters for major media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, Time, Politico, and Business Insider.
