She focuses on assisting clients to shape their business from inception to execution, opening and expansion to sale of the business including compliance, corporate governance, employment-related issues, franchise and licensing agreements, and membership interest or stock purchase agreements. She zealously advocates for her clients throughout each stage of their matters from contract drafting and negotiation, to prelitigation disputes, to settlements.
