My law practice is devoted to the transactional representation of private companies. I advise clients respecting exempt offerings of equity and debt securities, the rights, remedies and registration requirements provided by Washington's Franchise Investment Protection Act and the principles of corporate, merger and acquisitions law. My work involves transaction planning, legal due diligence and the preparation, appropriate use and enforcement of implementing contracts, disclosure memoranda and related documents.
Transactions in which my representation of a party is a matter of record have involved acqua-culture, cable television, commercial printing and transportation companies, daily and weekly newspapers, food and beverage franchises, industrial equipment manufacturers, real estate private equity funds and trade associations, plus residential and commercial real estate development companies.
