My role as an attorney is not simply to “solve” a client’s problem, but to support clients in choosing the best path forward. I clearly communicate legal risks, then work together with clients to find the best way to achieve their goals — that is my working style.
Through international practice at a global law firm, policy advocacy work, and experience as a corporate auditor, I have developed not only legal expertise but also a perspective on business management and public policy. I aim to leverage these insights to contribute to the growth and success of the companies I serve.
“Challenge assumptions. Open the best path forward.” — That is the mindset I bring to every matter.
