About
The most valuable business opportunities don’t come with pre-existing playbooks. They come with deadlines, boards waiting for guidance, and trade-offs that only get harder the closer you get to the finish line. The work of a general counsel lives in the uncomfortable space between what the documents say and what the business actually needs.
Fifteen years advising founders, executives, and boards through high-stakes commercial partnerships, complex capital markets transactions, and the inflection points that make or break companies. Always in the room, with skin in the game and a calm, unambiguous point of view on what to do next.
The moments that matter most aren’t solved by knowledge alone. They require the judgment to know which battles matter and which risks are worth taking when the right answer isn’t in the playbook.
