Dedicated to moving breakthroughs
in healthcare forward
With 20 years of deep experience counseling executive teams across the healthcare sector, both in-house with Amgen and as outside counsel with a variety of clients, I have a keen ability to translate how evolving health laws and regulations impact your business in your language, not legal jargon.
Focused on your big-picture business goals, I guide you through complex corporate, regulatory and compliance matters without getting you lost in the details.
Beyond the advice, I create a roadmap and help operationalize legal guidance throughout your business. I’ll right-size it based on your business structure and resources and educate your team on industry best practices along the way.
I also provide business counsel, integrating legal advice to assist in creating stronger business strategies and tactics.
