I am a lawyer in Wellesley, Massachusetts who strives to provide local, national and international clients with large firm quality and responsiveness in a small firm setting.  I work in three three main areas:  business and commercial law, alternative dispute resolution for business and family law ADR.

•Business organizations (business formation and dissolution, including corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies, representing early stage, venture-backed and established companies)

•Partner and shareholder disputes

•Mergers and acquisitions of private companies

•Business financing and other transactions

Alternative Dispute Resolution:

•Settlement counsel

•Mediation

•Arbitration

•Collaborative law (Collaborative business law)

•Faciliitation of group disputes

Family Law:

My litigation practice is limited to a strategic or litigation management mode.  I do not make court appearances.
