Forward-Looking Legal & Business Counsel
Most legal advice is reactive. What you can't do. What the risks are. What went wrong.
I work differently.
25+ years in tech. Practicing law since 2008. 2x General Counsel. I help clients understand not just today's rules, but where regulation, markets, and technology are headed — and what to build now to be positioned when the landscape shifts.
Based in San Francisco. Advising clients across the U.S. and internationally.

AREAS OF Focus
Financial Technology & Regulated Data
Deep experience across Open Banking, payments, data aggregation, and financial services compliance. I've spent years at the intersection of financial data and technology — arguably the second most regulated data asset in the world — and that pattern recognition transfers to any industry navigating complex data regulation.
Commercial transactions
Structuring deals that unlock value while building in flexibility for where your business is going. High-stakes, high-touch negotiation with an eye toward long-term positioning.
Regulatory Strategy
Not just compliance — anticipation. Understanding regulatory trajectories and helping you build products and practices that will still make sense when the rules arrive.
