Practice Areas
Practical, execution-focused counsel across corporate, regulatory, and immigration matters — built on a combined 27+ years of Big Law and in-house experience.
End-to-end counsel on complex, cross-border deals — from first term sheet through closing.
Drawing on a foundation built at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, this practice structures and executes corporate transactions for companies, investors, underwriters, and lenders — from early-stage financings and M&A to public securities offerings and cross-border deals — with the follow-through to see each one from term sheet to signature.
Transaction Types
Documents & Deliverables
Drafting and negotiating agreements that protect your interests, enable your business, and hold up when it matters.
In-house experience negotiating enterprise SaaS, data licensing, vendor, and consulting agreements developed a practitioner's fluency with the provisions that create real risk. This practice advises both buyers and sellers on commercial terms, risk allocation, and IP and data rights, with particular experience in technology and AI-era commercial agreements.
Agreement Types
Emerging Areas
Privacy counsel that is practical, proportionate, and embedded in your business operations — not bolted on as an afterthought.
Backed by a CIPP/E certification and experience building privacy compliance programs in-house, this practice advises on GDPR, the e-Privacy Directive, and cross-border data transfer requirements — from documentation and DPA negotiation to DSAR management and regulator response — always tied to the commercial reality of closing deals and serving customers.
Frameworks & Regulations
Services
Regulatory guidance informed by direct experience on both sides of the examination table.
Regulatory examination experience at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, paired with risk management consulting work at Accenture, gives this practice a firsthand understanding of how regulators assess governance frameworks and remediation. Services include compliance program development, enforcement action support, and board-level governance advisory for financial institutions and other regulated businesses.
Services
Client Types
Fractional general counsel and external strategic adviser services for startups, scaleups, and businesses entering new markets.
Not every business is ready for a full-time general counsel. Drawing on experience advising early-stage startups and SMEs, particularly across the Asia-Pacific region, this practice offers fractional and project-based counsel that goes beyond pure legal work — advising on business structure, operational policy, and market entry alongside the legal matter at hand.
Engagement Models
Services
Strategy and hands-on execution for individuals and businesses navigating the U.S. immigration system.
Immigration matters are won or lost on execution as much as strategy. This practice advises on the appropriate visa category for a given individual or business need, then carries that strategy through to the practical work of preparing, assembling, and filing the application — with the same discipline that shapes its contract and compliance work.

Why Work With This Practice
Trained at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, this practice brings deep experience structuring and closing complex corporate, securities, and regulatory transactions.
Direct in-house experience at Citigroup, Mixpanel, and ZwillGen means advice is framed around what actually gets implemented — not just what's legally defensible. Filings get made, contracts get signed, and governance obligations get met.
Firsthand experience inside regulated financial institutions, from a Federal Reserve examiner role to ongoing in-house work supporting broker-dealer entities, shapes practical, implementation-ready compliance advice.
Corporate, commercial, privacy, governance, and immigration matters handled under one roof — with the follow-through to see each one through to completion.
