For more than twenty years, I have used my J.D., emphasizing international business transactions, and my LL. M., in banking and finance law, to assist startups and early stage companies as they grow and develop from the conceptual stage to operating entities. I am adept at jurisdiction selection, selecting and forming the most advantageous business structure and documenting the entity including drafting appropriate agreements (shareholder, employment, key person, personal services, intellectual property licensing and real estate) to facilitate the success of the business. I am a skilled business coach who has worked with numerous startups and early stage companies helping them grow and develop.
