I read contracts for leverage, not merely legal sufficiency.
My experience as a lawyer, operator, and founder means I look beyond whether the language is legally sound. I consider how a deal affects cash flow, control, incentives, and the leverage each side will have if the relationship changes. When a dispute arises, I examine the contract alongside the economics, the parties' incentives, the operational realities, and the available pressure points. That is often where the real leverage sits.
I help businesses use data and emerging technology to increase revenue while maintaining compliance.
I have built anonymization frameworks for multibillion-dollar banks and multimillion-dollar marketing companies. I have also helped businesses integrate emerging technologies into existing operations and revenue models. I have advised founders across legal technology, agricultural technology, advertising technology, and behavioral analytics. I examine how data is collected, structured, shared, licensed, and commercialized. I also consider how AI and vendor relationships affect ownership and downstream use.
I handle disputes that are too consequential for a person or business to ignore and often too small for a large firm.
I represent businesses and individuals in civil disputes where focused, strategic representation can materially affect the outcome. For contractors, that includes payment, performance, and construction disputes. When developers overstep, however, I represent neighboring residents, challenge overreach, press for enforceable concessions, and protect the character, value, and quiet enjoyment of their homes.
Much like concierge medicine, Concierge Counsel is a more personal, ongoing legal relationship for clients who want the same strategically oriented lawyer advising them across different parts of their affairs.
The advantage is continuity: enough context to recognize when a problem in one area creates leverage, risk, or opportunity in another.
My background extends beyond the traditional path into private practice. Before and alongside practicing law, I worked in artificial intelligence and business strategy, and inside or alongside law firms, banks, wealth management firms, marketing firms, and technology companies.
That experience affects how I approach legal problems. I look not only at what the law permits, but at how a decision affects revenue, operations, and relationships.
