Business and Commercial Practice
My many years as outside U.S. general counsel for an international airline, a multi-state strategic consulting firm, an internet travel company and a design/build construction company reflect the breadth of legal, business and cross-cultural issues I have continued to address.
My extensive litigation experience brings a special perspective to the negotiation and drafting of contracts, including licensing, employment and other business agreements.

- Stock or asset purchase/sale, redemption, buy-sell and operating agreements
