My law practice is focused on serving the needs of entrepreneurs, emerging businesses, startups and non-profits, primarily in the technology sector. I help my clients create organizations that have real value and withstand the test of time. The advice, counsel and services I provide generally fall into three areas: governance, risk management and compliance.

Governance

To create an organization that lasts, it is imperative that principled leadership and sustainable business practices be woven into the formative and operational documents of the organization. I can prepare formation documents and develop operating agreements and corporate policies and procedures that help you instill a culture of corporate responsibility, sustainability and ethical conduct to guide the evolution and growth of your enterprise.

Risk Management

To ensure that an organization lasts, it is imperative to identify, evaluate and prioritize the risks particular to your organization. I can help you identify and analyze the risk environment in which your organization operates so that you can make informed decisions as to how to best implement and prioritize risk mitigation strategies and procedures. With this knowledge in hand, you can improve the odds that your enterprise will successfully navigate the risk exposure inherent in your industry.

Compliance

To grow an organization, it is imperative that it avoid the pitfalls that can occur by being in breach of a legal, regulatory, contractual, ethical or other obligation imposed by the enterprise’s charter, policies or procedures. Therefore, it is imperative to implement a robust compliance program to cover not only the aforementioned obligations but that also has a visionary eye towards evolving societal norms that have an impact on your organization. I can help you set up such a program or run the program for you as outside counsel.
