Introduction
My focus
My practice focuses on a variety of litigation matters, including contract disputes, commercial litigation, securities litigation, and labor and employment cases. I have litigated a range of general commercial disputes for breach of contract, defamation, copyright and trademark infringement, trade secret violations, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair business practices, business torts, partnership dissolutions, and employment disputes for C-suite executives and small/midsized companies.
I represent clients in various phases of litigation, ranging from conducting in-depth legal research in connection with drafting memoranda for motions, appellate briefs, and depositions to negotiating settlements. Acting as a trusted advisor, I have advised several small and mid-sized businesses on employment matters, collaborating with human resources professionals to assist with labor law compliance and personnel management. I provide clients with proactive analyses to help identify and close potential deficiencies and mitigate exposure to future litigation.
In addition to obtaining my J.D. from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, I also hold a British law degree from BPP University London.
Looking ahead
Artificial intelligence is at the forefront of every conversation today. As AI tools become more accessible, employers will need to proactively address employee use, scope, and manner of AI in the workplace.
