Biography
Jim is an AV rated business lawyer with over thirty years of business law experience. Jim draws on his personal business experiences and on longtime relationships with many business clients to bring an innovative and refreshing perspective to the management of risks for Wayzata Law Group business clients.
His business experience started during law school when Jim was an officer and shareholder of a wholesale distribution company. He continued in business by serving four years as CEO of a wireless communications company while building his legal practice.

From limited liability company start-ups to multi-million dollar mergers and acquisitions, Jim has helped hundreds of business clients fulfill their business dreams.
