"Clear advice as always"
About
My work sits at the intersection of law, operations, risk, and business judgment. I help owners, founders, executives, and management teams make decisions, structure deals, negotiate contracts, manage employment and contractor issues, protect intellectual property, resolve disputes, and handle the legal problems that come up when a company is actually operating — not just when something has already gone wrong.
I have more than 20 years of experience advising companies across technology,… read more software, real estate, hospitality, manufacturing, staffing, e-commerce, international business, and professional services.

Client Reviews
"Brig was professional, clear and thorough. I would not hesitate to work with him again. Highly recommended!"
"Working with Brig was a great experience. I'm building my first product and came to him with a lot of legal questions. He treated every one of them with patience and care. He explained the reasons behind each answer in plain language and replied quickly every time. I came away feeling confident and well looked after. I'm so grateful for his help, and I would hire him again without hesitation."
"It was enjoyable working with Brig and I will definitely seek his expertise in the future, as needed. He was thorough in his assessment and provided on time feedback and follow-up."
"Brig was very knowledgeable, throughout, and helpful with our project request. I appreciated that he laid out everything that he would do, his estimated time requirement, upfront pricing, and that he gave very thorough instructions on what I would need to do moving forward. Thank you Brig!"
