About Me

I’m an attorney with 20 years’ experience, most of it in-house, including time at two international mining companies, two direct selling/MLM companies, a large ecommerce retailer, and an accounting/fintech firm. I have been a company’s first legal hire, and I have worked in mature legal departments with established systems, forms, playbooks, and policies. I know how an effective legal department works, and I know how to build one.

I also know how to use AI, but I use it as a tool to save clients money, not a substitute for legal judgment.

I can give you immediate help with a contract or legal issue, and I can offer you more permanent solutions by creating standard agreements, playbooks, flowcharts, and employee trainings. As an in-house attorney, I learned to prioritize risks and find proportional, affordable solutions that ultimately add value to the business.

I’ve also spent significant time in court, having represented plaintiffs and defendants in all stages of litigation, and won jury trials and appeals. This experience informs the counsel I provide as an in-house or fractional general counsel. It also informs my work as a neutral mediator.

My low overhead and business model allow me to provide my services at a low, predictable cost. I can do certain projects for a flat fee or set a not to exceed amount at my hourly rate. I have also had clients pay me a monthly retainer to come into their office 1-2 full days a week. Call, email, or fill in the form below for fees and availability.
