Employment & People

Legal leadership at the intersection of workforce strategy and risk

I help fast-growing companies navigate complex employment issues with a clear understanding of how people, culture, and business goals intersect. As a former BigLaw litigator and in-house counsel for teams ranging from 100 to 8,000+, I provide embedded legal guidance that’s strategic and actionable.

From onboarding to exits, I work directly with your team to minimize risk, resolve issues early, and build legal infrastructure that scales with your workforce.
