Donna Ray (Berkelhammer) Chmura’s Summary

I'm a business transactional attorney in Research Triangle Park, NC, with strong interest in assisting start-ups. Over the years, I've acquired substantial experience in entity selection, corporate/contract law, merger and acquisitions, intellectual property and commercial real estate issues. My passion is helping companies and their executives understand how legal jargon will affect their bottom lines, identify the appropriate legal pathways to preserve capital and assets, attract the best employees and transact their business in the most ethical and beneficial manner. With my background as a newspaper reporter, I also enjoy blogging at http://NCLawLife.com.
