My focus
Commercial Litigation and Class Actions
I represent businesses, manufacturers, banks, utilities, employers, and individuals in complex state and federal litigation, relating to:
- contracts
- leases
- franchise agreements
- trade secrets
- unfair and deceptive trade practices
- class actions
- products liability
- and other business disputes
My experience includes representing telecommunications and utility companies in contract disputes; medical device and other product manufacturers regarding workplace accidents or botched medical procedures; international franchisors in lawsuits involving franchisees, and consumer class actions; regional and national banks in multimillion-dollar loan workouts; and medical practices in disputes with hospitals.
As a member of both the Class Actions and Aggregate Litigation and Non-Compete & Trade Secrets teams, I work with colleagues across practice areas and on behalf of clients throughout the United States.
I am also part of the team representing more than 1,200 adults who allege they were abused as children in New Hampshire’s juvenile detention system.
Education
For a private secondary school, I have resolved several claims related to allegations of student and faculty misconduct. I have also represented several New Hampshire-based colleges and universities in their sponsorships of international faculty and staff for employment visas and assisted them with international student issues.
Franchise Litigation
I represent franchisors in various industries in litigation and arbitration matters throughout the United States. My experience includes resolution of disputes with individual franchisees or dealers, as well as matters affecting an entire franchise or dealership system, and disputes between the owners of franchise systems.
Immigration
I have led or participated in a number of high-profile habeas corpus and civil rights lawsuits filed on behalf of immigrants. This experience includes:
- A class action lawsuit filed on behalf of children separated from their parents at the United States–Mexico border
- Aggregate litigation filed by a group of Indonesian Christians seeking to stay their removal from the United States on account of religious persecution in their homeland
- A class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of civil immigration detainees held in inhumane conditions at the Strafford County House of Corrections in light of the COVID-19 pandemic
I also assist businesses, universities, hospitals, investors, entrepreneurs, and highly skilled workers in identifying temporary and permanent visas to accomplish their professional and personal goals.
