OUR ETHOS

 
 

MISSION MATTERS

Your matter will never be reduced to a boiler plate template or receive one-size-fits-all advice. I provide value-added customized counsel that perfectly fits your organization's mission and values. Your mission is the first priority in our relationship and I will always strive to advise you of potential threats to your mission.

ETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES

I strive to be a sounding board for your decision-making, whether, legal, strategic, or otherwise. I will counsel you through the process of ethical decision-making with empathetic, open-minded, and practical advice.

RESPECT

I will provide you with the most competent and thorough counsel available, and respect your decisions. While it is possible in the solicitor-client relationship that we may not always agree on a particular course of action or about all of the issues involved in your matter, I will approach all dealings with respect and courtesy.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

I work with entrepreneurial people who want to make a positive impact on the world. I respect entrepreneurs who are willing to think big, act boldly, and change the world. To that end I bring the benefits and efficiencies of cutting edge legal solutions to your matter. I encourage creative problem solving and will counsel you through the ins and outs, risks and rewards, of new approaches and intrepid strategies. We will navigate the new risks and rules of a rapidly changing economy together.

TIMELINESS AND RESPONSIVENESS

My clients can be confident that their matter is receiving the attention it requires and that they will receive diligent responses to any inquiry that arises.

TRANSPARENCY

You will know where we are in a given process and how the law relates to your particular circumstances, as well as how to progress the file. I take every precaution to avoid unnecessary surprises in the process.

I communicate openly and candidly with my clients and expect the same in return. Nothing is gained in our trust-based relationship if you do not feel you can be open and if you feel you are not receiving straightforward counsel.

DEMOCRATIZATION

When practical and appropriate, I can advise you as to innovative ways to democratize elements of your business, organization, or affairs. I will help you evaluate creative ways of distributing and sharing management, decision-making, control, wealth, and risk management. To the extent meaningful to you and your stakeholders, I will help you maximize your role in building regenerative economies and communities.
