Personal Introduction
I manage my firm's New York office, while also working with the firm's California and Massachusetts clients. We help clients plan through all stages in the business-ownership life cycle, from starting a brand-new practice to navigating personnel arrivals and departures, growing into a multijurisdictional practice, establishing cross-border relationships, growth and succession planning, and planning for retirement.

Practice Summary
I serve as ethics and business counsel for lawyers, law firms, and law-related businesses (including managements services organizations), advising on law firm formation, acquisitions, and dissolution; succession planning; partnership disputes; legal ethics compliance. I help lawyers plan and manage the business and compliance side of their practices and professional "marriages" thoughtfully and with foresight, so they can set themselves up to realize their business (and life) goals.
