Business Law

I provide assistance to emerging and growing businesses. I work with business founders to choose the best entity for their business. My free initial consultations assist me in getting an overview of your company and goals. At the outset I will provide information that will assist you in addressing tax issues, shareholder and partnership issues, risk management, asset protection, succession planning and trademark protection so provide you with the best possible choices.

My goal is to develop a long-term relationship with all of my clients. I can provide the emerging business with a network of contacts for intellectual property protection, insurance coverage, bookkeeping and accounting assistance and financing sources. Let me help you get your business off to a great start.

I am a seasoned business and legal professional having served as vice president and general counsel since 1996. I can assist your in-house legal department by working on a contract basis on short and long term projects. For companies without a legal department, I can serve as an affordable part-time in-house counsel working in your office or mine. Let me help manage your legal affairs so you can grow your business.
