Proof of Work
Most of our work is counsel. When a client business is threatened, we do whatever it takes to protect them — including stepping into litigation.
Client confidences are permanent, so identifying details remain withheld while the facts and the outcome stand on the record.
Transactions & 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.
Matter concluded
We advise business owners and physicians on sophisticated trust and estate matters, developing tailored structures to preserve wealth, protect family interests, and address complex assets and business holdings.
Matter concluded
A physician wanted his practice intact for a daughter still in medical school. We structured a custodian arrangement to operate the practice through the transition and a long-term agreement to transfer ownership when she is licensed.
Matter concluded
We represent startups in trademark and brand-development matters, including negotiating coexistence agreements that allow businesses to protect their identities, minimize infringement risk, and move forward without disruptive litigation.
Matter concluded
Healthcare
Dismissed
in full
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.
Matter concluded
Two Years
of delay resolved
A healthcare client had spent nearly two years pursuing a Medicare reimbursement balance without counsel. Shortly after engagement we recovered the outstanding balance in full, along with additional sums owed that had gone unclaimed.
Matter concluded
$2.5M
exposure defended
A commercial dispute involving surgical products and complex federal reimbursement issues. Our defense addresses contract formation, consignment versus sale, and regulatory classification. The matter remains active; no outcome is predicted.
Matter ongoing · no outcome implied
We structured a multijurisdictional physician practice for psychiatrists, addressing entity formation, ownership, regulatory, and operational requirements to support the delivery of services across multiple states.
Matter concluded
Disputes, when necessary
$100K
settlement
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.
Matter concluded
Two
lawsuits resolved
We represented physicians in two separate federal ADA lawsuits, negotiating prompt resolutions for a fraction of the amounts initially demanded and limiting the cost and disruption of prolonged litigation.
Matter concluded
We represent business owners in shareholder disputes, negotiating structured exits that protect their financial interests, resolve ownership conflicts, and allow the parties and businesses to move forward.
Matter concluded
Zero
damages paid
In a federal trademark infringement action, we negotiated a resolution requiring no damages payment, preserving our client’s ability to use a modified version of its logo and securing dismissal of the case.
