About
I guide startups and lower middle market companies through critical legal milestones — M&A, venture capital fundraising (SAFE, Seed, Series Preferred), and complex commercial contracts. As a startup, healthcare, and corporate attorney with over 20 years of experience, I provide the expertise of a seasoned legal advisor and fractional general counsel without the overhead of a large firm.

I collaborate closely with founders, investors, and executives, and strive to provide exceptional service tailored to their needs. I leverage my background in big law and Fortune 500 companies to deliver practical solutions that drive success.

If you… read more need a part-time general counsel or legal partner who can support your vision, take five minutes and see if I can help.
