    Representative Matters

    A record of the work.

    Most of what we do is counsel. When a client business is threatened, we step in — including litigation. Identifying details stay withheld; the facts and the outcomes stand.

    Outside General Counsel

    Through strategic business representation and outside general counsel services, we have saved our clients tens of millions of dollars over the years by resolving disputes, reducing exposure, managing regulatory risk, and protecting their business interests.

    Dismissed

    Medical Board Investigation

    A licensed physician faced a board investigation carrying serious professional consequences. We prepared the physician, appeared for the investigative interview, and framed the record before the board reached its conclusion. The board closed the matter in its entirety, leaving no warning letter or advisory on the license.

    Personal Injury

    For an existing business client, we handled an auto-accident claim after the insurer initially offered just $7,500. By rebuilding the damages record and identifying aggravating facts overlooked in the initial evaluation, we secured the full $100,000 policy limits.
