About
Entrepreneurial minded attorney with big law experience who left the law firm life to escape the billable hour and focus on providing guidance on a project basis. My practice focuses on advising entrepreneurs, companies and investors on issues including incorporation, seed and venture financings, strategic transactions, corporate governance issues and general questions that arise during the day-to-day operation of a business.

Prior to practicing law, I was a member of the senior management team of a startup that successfully navigated an FDA Class I recall, raised more than $40M and entered into a range of complex agreements. Based on
… read more those experiences I understand the guidance business professionals need. If you are looking for an attorney that cares about understanding your company’s risk profile in order to provide tailored legal advice I can help. My goal is to help people understand the legal risks associated with different decisions and business transactions so they can make informed decisions about acceptable and unacceptable risks.

I am a member of the California Bar and have a JD/MBA from the University of Virginia.

"Peter was very helpful, pointed out some important parts of the contract to be aware of, and was able to accomodate us on short notice. I highly recommend him and plan to work with him in the future!"

"Peter was great. Very helpful and like the Neil DeGrasse Tyson of business, he was very clear and honest with me about my situation. He took a thorough look at everything I had sent him and gave me a ton of advice and the questions I needed to ask going forward. I will definitely look to Peter again should I need his services in the future."

""I highly recommend Peter. I worked with Peter previously at a large law firm and I asked him if he'd be willing to review our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Peter took the time to understand how the business operates before revising the agreements and is one of the few attorneys I know that does a really good job balancing business and legal risks. He was through and diligent and did a great job revising the documents and was a very affordable solution.""

"Peter helped us form our company and we've continued to work with him when legal questions come up. Our situation changed slightly from when he helped us incorporate the company and our accountant expressed concerns about how the change might affect our tax liability. Peter was able to clearly explain the pros and cons of the various options and came up with a solution that worked well for us. Unlike lots of attorneys who tell you all the things you can't do and focus the problems, he always seems to have a solution. We will continue to use Peter for our legal work in the future."
