I have been practicing law for over sixteen years in Colorado.  My practice began with two exceptional firms in Colorado that provided me with signifcant training and experience in the areas of corporate law, securities offerings, mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, and representing emerging growth companies (start-ups).  After seven years of law firm experience, I decided to join one of my clients in house as General Counsel.  My first General Counsel experience was with a media and technology company that licensed content from motion picture studios, independent producers, and sports organizations and then licensed that content to customers for adverstising or other commercial purposes. This company also developed sophisticated technology that enabled the digital delivery of finished programming for studios and produced Platform as a Service products that enabled and managed digital archives of content.  My second General Counsel experience involved a global servicing company that provides travel serrvices, temporary housing serrvices and relocation services to multinational corporations and fortune 500 clients.  

My experiences have enabled me to truly understand the operations of business and changes in businesses. Too often there is not enough focus on the client business and understanding their needs and the reasons for the needs, which can create a frustration between the lawyer and the business.  Priorities of clients can shift and it is imperative to consistently communicate with clients and understand them, so they have what they need from me to tackle the next challenge without being left on their heels.
