About
California-licensed attorney with a J.D. from UC Berkeley and an LL.M. in Public Law and Democracy from Panthéon-Assas. I offer behind-the-scenes legal support to attorneys and mission-driven clients, drawing on experience at Freshfields and Quinn Emanuel in complex commercial disputes, ESG, securities, and cross-border matters. My background includes regulatory compliance, corporate governance, and international law, with human rights work spanning death penalty defense, anti-slavery litigation, and diplomatic advocacy. I specialize in research, drafting, and legal strategy support—particularly in ESG, international law, and… read more litigation-adjacent work—without appearing as counsel of record. I'm especially interested in partnering with values-aligned firms and founders seeking flexible, high-level legal assistance. Ironman triathlete and early-stage founder bringing endurance, precision, and creativity to every engagement.
