I have over 20 years’ experience in the practice of law in both the law firm setting and as corporate counsel at an international franchisor. I opened my own law firm in the winter of 2016. Being on my own has meant that I can now practice law in a way that truly suits me. Clients are not just another name on a file for me. They have always been real people, with their own stories, their own dreams and challenges. I have been privileged to get know some amazing people over the years as I have set up businesses and charities for them, solved partnership problems, drafted and reviewed non-compete agreements and helped them buy or sell their business, drafted and reviewed countless contracts and solved a myriad of other problems and challenges for them. I have always been open to learning new areas of the law - from undertaking the drafting of a conservation easement, mounting a property tax appeal to mastering software licensing and SAAS agreements – as my client’s business needs require. I strive to make sure my client’s business needs are being met while keeping a close eye on the bottom line costs for that client.
On the personal side, I enjoy gardening and kayaking on Long Island Sound. My favorite “get away” activity is mountain climbing and backpacking. For me, there is nothing more refreshing than hitting the trailhead with a pack on my back and the whole day of climbing before me! I bring the same energy to my legal work.
