Eugene's dedicated Business Lawyer:
supporting Your success at Every Turn

For as long as I can remember, I knew I would be a business owner. Everything about entrepreneurship seemed so exciting, fun, and cool. Now, with fifteen years of experience as a clothing designer/manufacturer and another ten years running a law firm, I know exactly how rewarding, hectic, busy, and stressful (and sometimes cool) running a business is. And I know that it takes the support of a solid and trusted team to keep all the plates spinning. 

As a business owner and business attorney who loves working with other entrepreneurs, I bring a special perspective to my clients’ matters. No matter what phase your business is in, you need a great business attorney. Whether you are starting out, growing up, selling off, winding down, or facing tough business decisions - I can relate because I’ve been there, and now I’m here to help you!

Because there's a world of legal complexities that most business owners never even see coming. With a decade of experience guiding entrepreneurs through every stage of business growth, I've helped clients launch their first ventures, scale up and acquire new businesses, expand into new locations and markets, and successfully sell entire businesses (to name a few).

After years of working with countless diverse clients, there’s one thing I can say with certainty:  solid legal advice and expertly drafted documents are the foundation of business success (and piece of mind). When you work with me, you can focus on running your business—while I handle the legal details.


if you're wondering whether you need an attorney, the answer is a resounding YES.

Starting a new business is an exciting (and intimidating) endeavor! Choosing the right entity type and making sure all the formation documents are in order is an important first step that will ensure your new business is starting off on a solid foundation.

Entity choice and formation, assumed business name, tax identification numbers, admission agreements, operating agreements or bylaws, capitalization, buy-out provisions, insurance – as a small business owner myself, I know it can be overwhelming to get started.

The good news is that you don’t have to do it alone. I am here to walk you through all the steps of starting your new business or making changes to your existing business. I can’t wait to hear what amazing things you are doing and get started helping you change the world!

If you are looking for a commercial or agricultural lease, look no further! Landlord or tenant, let’s talk about your needs, wants, and aspirations, so that I can help you negotiate the best lease agreement possible.

Commencement date, lease term, renewal options, permitted uses, basic rent and additional rent, tenant improvements, landlord and tenant repair obligations, quiet enjoyment, holdover, events of default, termination – leases are complicated business, and you need an attorney who is looking out for you!

Most lease terms last many years, even decades, and have a value in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars! Entering into a lease is a big deal. I’ll take the time to understand your interests and make sure these interests are reflected in your lease agreement.
