A Founder's Mindset, A Litigator's Edge.
M
ost lawyers have only ever been lawyers. They understand the law, but they’ve never sat in the founder’s chair, facing payroll, navigating a competitive onslaught, or building a company to a successful exit.
I have. Before dedicating my practice to high-stakes business litigation, I was a serial founder myself—building and successfully exiting multiple companies, including a prior law firm. I’ve lived the pressures and the complexities my clients face every day.
That experience shapes my entire approach. I don’t just see legal problems; I see business challenges that require strategic solutions. My role isn’t simply to be your litigator; it’s to be your private counsel and a resilient partner, architecting the legal strategy that protects your life’s work.

OUR PAST & OUR FUTURE
What types of clients do you typically represent?
We represent a select group of clients for whom the stakes are exceptionally high: founders navigating critical business disputes, C-suite executives facing regulatory challenges, and high-growth companies protecting their intellectual property and strategic interests. Our clients are leaders who require more than just a lawyer; they need a dedicated strategic partner who understands both the legal and commercial landscape.
Legal and law advices.
Our approach is “strategist first, litigator second.” We believe that the most effective legal victory is often one that aligns perfectly with a client’s core business objectives, which may not always require a protracted courtroom battle. We begin every engagement by architecting a comprehensive legal strategy designed to achieve the most favorable outcome as efficiently as possible. While we are formidable and relentless litigators in the courtroom, our primary focus is on providing the strategic counsel that protects your life’s work
Get compensation for your injuries.
Your case will be handled directly by our team of senior experts and partners. Unlike larger firms where work is often delegated to junior associates, our boutique model ensures you receive the focused, high-level attention your matter deserves from start to finish. You will have a direct line to the experienced counsel you hired.
Our mission is Your success.
We provide bespoke legal counsel tailored to the unique complexities of each case, so we do not offer a standardized fee schedule. Our engagements are structured as a strategic investment in protecting your most valuable assets. We are committed to transparency and will discuss a clear and fair billing structure during your confidential consultation once we have a full understanding of your needs.
