"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 understood very quickly my situation and what needed to be done. He is extremely nice and friendly, has a sharp mind, is very knowledgeable, and works in a very timely fashion, always responding to emails and questions in less than 24hours. I want to work again with Brig, I know I will contact him as soon as a legal question comes up on my side. He over delivers as well, which makes me feel very well taken care of. It's been a fantastic experience, and highly recommend his work. I now look forward to having legal questions instead of dreading them. Thank you !"
