What I Do.

Exit with Leverage icon

EXIT WITH LEVERAGE

Severance negotiation when you’re leaving or being pushed out. I maximize your package: compensation, equity acceleration, healthcare extension, and post-employment terms.

Enter on Your Terms icon

ENTER ON YOUR TERMS

Offer letter and employment agreement review before you join a company. I analyze compensation, equity, IP ownership, and restrictive terms, then show you how to negotiate.

Build What's Yours icon

BUILD WHAT'S YOURS

You've spent years building expertise. Now build IP you actually own: consulting practices, advisory equity, products, content, and wealth that survives any job change.

They have lawyers.
Now you do too.

Companies negotiate slowly, through committees. I operate solo—no bureaucracy, no billable-hour inefficiency. Just strategic counsel that moves as fast as you need it to.

I don't represent employers in severance matters. I don't do litigation. I focus exclusively on transactional employment work that gets you results without stepping into a courtroom.

I am not a law firm.
I am a solo operator.

I started my career with the U.S. Secret Service, then left to build tech startups. I've been on both sides of employment negotiations—as a founder hiring teams and as an employee negotiating complex contracts. 

In 2024, I became an attorney because I kept seeing the same problem: tech workers negotiating severance packages and job offers alone against HR departments backed by legal teams.

That's not a fair fight.
