About

I represent businesses, owners, investors, and executives in complex commercial disputes across state and federal courts. My practice focuses on business litigation involving contract disputes, partnership and shareholder conflicts, fiduciary duty claims, trade secret matters, and other high-stakes commercial controversies. I also have experience litigating matters in the Texas Business Court, where I regularly advise clients navigating the state’s evolving business litigation landscape. I work with companies across a broad range of industries, from closely held businesses and real estate ventures to emerging growth enterprises. I am known for taking a business-first approach to litigation and develop strategies that align with my clients’ business objectives, whether pursuing early resolution, protecting key relationships, or going to trial.
