What can I do for you?

My firm’s first priority is to protect your company. I will give you a combination of programs and practices that will keep you out of the courtroom and off the government’s radar.

Secure Proprietary Information

I help you identify proprietary information, and help you determine who has access to it. Together we’ll implement a protection plan that should stand up to judicial scrutiny.

Limit Exposure to Liability

I give you HR and other policies that help keep you out of the courthouse. I’ll show you how to lay a paper trail that shows compliance with regulations, so you can fire the disruptive employee and welcome the government inspector, without worry.

Financing and Growth

I identify sources of financing; prepare compensation packages (not just salary) and set the table for Mergers or Acquisitions. Together we will proactively identify & deal with regulatory issues, avoiding litigation and presenting a good, “clean” opportunity to lenders and investors .

Shield Your Assets From Litigation

From making sure that your business entity is formed and organized properly, to writing contracts that are favorable to you, and numerous points in between, I will show you how to protect your business assets and keep your personal assets out of reach.
