Me in a minute
We have worked hard to develop innovative solutions for our clients
Although I spent most of my early career providing outside general counsel representation to public companies, I now spend most of my time representing family offices, investment advisers and fund managers on a wide variety of corporate and regulatory matters. I also do a lot of governance and succession work for family and other closely-held businesses.
Working with the sophisticated families and owner-managed business I encounter in my work is really the best of both worlds for me. I address many of the same legal and business issues that faced my public company clients, but I have the ability to work more closely with the ultimate stakeholders, which make the job more rewarding. Taking account of the interpersonal dynamics that often arise in family and closely-held business adds another dynamic to my work that also make it more interesting.
