Business Law Practice

I serve a diverse range of clients in business and nonprofit law matters. My clients include corporations, limited liability companies, professionals, nonprofits, and individuals engaged in business transactions, including business mergers and acquisitions, acquisitions and sale, commercial leasing, contracts and corporate governance. I am able to represent clients with multiple and overlapping legal concerns.

Serving The Needs Of Nonprofits

Many of my clients are in the nonprofit sector. I was drawn to this area of law by my passion for strengthening communities and helping those who help others. As a Santa Cruz, San Jose and Silicon Valley nonprofit lawyer, I am committed to serving the needs of nonprofits throughout the region.

Depth of Knowledge

By devoting a portion of my legal practice to the needs of nonprofits, I have gained a depth of knowledge that few can match. While I can easily address the basic compliance needs of these unique organizations, I also have the background and experience to address the most complex issues nonprofits face, including those related to more complex reorganization transactions, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance tax issues, reporting obligations, and Attorney General investigations.
