Fractional general counsel with deep experience in M&A, financing, life sciences and compliance
About
Fractional general counsel for companies who need part time or interim legal assistance for day-to-day and critical matters. Mergers, acquisitions and strategic transactions for small to mid-sized businesses. I help companies with the legal aspects of starting, getting funded, hiring, growing, scaling, selling their products and services, and eventually acquiring or being acquired. I also help companies create and manage their commercial compliance programs, with a focus on life sciences and anti-corruption.
