Seasoned Fractional General Counsel in California 

I provide experienced legal leadership to growth-stage and middle-market companies navigating complex business and operational challenges. With more than 27 years of experience, including serving as General Counsel of a public company, I combine legal judgment with a practical understanding of how businesses operate. As fractional General Counsel, I work alongside founders and executives to manage risk, solve problems, and move the business forward—without the cost or commitment of a full-time legal executive.

You Don’t Need Another Law Firm

Outside law firms are built to respond when legal issues arise. Growing companies often need something more—experienced legal leadership that understands the business, anticipates issues, and works alongside management. As fractional General Counsel, I work directly with CEOs and leadership teams to manage risk, structure transactions and agreements, resolve disputes, and help make sound business decisions before legal issues become costly distractions.
