Experienced commercial lawyer with a dynamic background in business, real estate and general litigation. As an in-house practitioner I have developed a strong focus on how legal operations impact the efficiency and ultimately profitability of the company. I regularly look for opportunities to integrate traditional legal functions with progressive business and technical practices to improve the delivery of legal services in the modern business environment.
