We architect legal legacies.
Precision strategy. Decisive counsel. Results that endure.
II — Practice Areas
Six disciplines. One standard.
-
Contract, partnership and shareholder disputes, tried when they must be and settled when that serves the client better.
Typical matter: a distribution agreement terminated mid-contract. Typical outcome: an injunction inside two weeks and the relationship restored on renegotiated terms.
-
Board counsel, control contests and the quiet resolution of founder disputes. Most of what we do here never reaches a filing, and that is the point.
Typical matter: a founder-led company whose board has split. Typical outcome: a settlement within a quarter and a governance structure that prevents the next one.
-
Investigations and enforcement actions, handled before they become headlines.
Typical matter: an agency inquiry that could become an enforcement action. Typical outcome: closed with no finding, and a compliance record the next inquiry starts from.
-
Protecting the ideas a business is built on, and enforcing them when they are tested.
Typical matter: a trade secret that left with a departing executive. Typical outcome: the secret back under seal and a licensing agreement where a lawsuit was expected.
-
Briefs written to be read, and arguments built to hold under questioning.
Typical matter: a verdict the trial team believes was wrong on the law. Typical outcome: the record reframed around the one issue that decides it.
-
Succession, family enterprise and the disputes that follow a legacy.
Typical matter: two generations, one company, no agreed plan. Typical outcome: a succession structure signed while every party is still speaking to one another.
