Representing business clients ranging from start-ups to public companies, I especially enjoy helping clients raise capital from investors and communicate with shareholders. My legal practice has also focused on negotiating mergers, acquisitions and sales of public and private businesses. 

As a corporate/securities attorney, I register public company securities with the SEC and prepare public company periodic reports, including proxy statements, quarterly and annual reports, and other shareholder communications. I also handle regulatory compliance and corporate governance matters, including entity formation for corporations and limited liability companies, and advise clients with regard to shareholder, officer and board fiduciary duties.

A business lawyer with a business background prior to practicing law, I previously owned and operated a consulting practice providing inventory management services to domestic and international clients.  I also have a background in restaurant management and agriculture production. A native of the Inland Northwest, I lived and worked in Boston, New York, New Jersey and Copenhagen, Denmark before returning to Spokane to begin my law practice and raise my family.
