I practice law in Seattle, Washington. My practice is focused on small businesses. That is, I help business owners identify and manage their legal risks so they can be more relaxed, have more fun and make more money doing what they love to do.

I do this by negotiating and drafting contracts, which are really the agreements upon which successful business transactions are based.

I practice law in Seattle, Washington. My practice is focused on small businesses. That is, I help business owners identify and manage their legal risks so they can be more relaxed, have more fun and make more money doing what they love to do.

I do this by negotiating and drafting contracts, which are really the agreements upon which successful business transactions are based. I also help my clients resolve differences with suppliers, contractors and customers so that accounts are paid and valued relationships are preserved. If all else fails, as it does on occasion, I use the litigation process to enforce my clients' business boundaries and recover the money to which they are entitled.

My clients typically rely on employment agreements, non-disclosure agreements, non-compete agreements (which, contrary to popular belief, are enforceable in certain circumstances), severance agreements, vendor or supplier contracts, real estate lease agreements, website contracts and user agreements, and many other contracts that define the relationships that form the bedrock of every business.

Many people don't realize the law provides certain safeguards and benefits to those involved in commerce. It does this because we, as a society, value and encourage productivity. Small business owners invest their heart and soul - and in many cases their life savings - into starting their own business, but often operate without any of the advantages they are legally entitled to. If you are one of those people, I'm here to tell you there are good reasons to consult your lawyer early on, and avoid potential pitfalls, rather than waiting until you have an honest-to-goodness, unavoidable legal problem to resolve. The old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is certainly apt if you're considering the life and livelihood of an entrepreneur.
