Practical Approach
For 30 years clients have counted on me to provide practical solutions to complex business problems. ‘Practical’ means legal solutions that achieve business objectives, advice that is timely and clear, and costs that are reasonable. Although large law firm training taught me how to arrive at a correct legal conclusion, I know well that a correct legal conclusion is valuable only if it significantly advances business goals at a reasonable cost.
Comprehensive Services
Outside General Counsel – My clients range in size from startups to several hundred million in annual revenue. Most are aggressively growing. Companies of this type, if they lack a good General Counsel, are often unaware when they are stepping into an expensive legal pitfall until it is too late. I steer my clients clear of these avoidable costs.
Intellectual Property Counsel – I register, license and enforce brands, technologies and creative works. I also resolve IP disputes, typically by negotiating favorable settlements before a costly lawsuit is filed.
Profitable Results
“It is not often that I take the time to pen my thoughts, but your results, service and attention to customer needs have been so superb that I felt compelled to do so. I have dealt with plenty of the top twenty law firms and experienced many frustrations, primarily due to their inability to accommodate business needs with legal solutions. Your ability to quickly understand our business and priorities eliminated this frustration and has led to many quick and profitable results.”
