Corporate Finance and Securities Law are the building blocks of my professsional work. My expertise in this area has allowed me to become an advisor to decision-makers contemplating and executing deals, projects and building their business. I look at the issues from different perspectives to help focus on the opportunities, identify the risks, and determine the needs of the business.
Holding the Institute of Corporate Directors-certified director designation, I have worked at adding to my knowledge and experience to best assist my clients and the boards on which I am a member.
I also use a wide personal network to pin-point the right people to find opportunities and help get the job done: professional advisors, financial and business colleagues who can help move a project along, and experts who can answer the phone for a quick answer.
I stand beside the decision-makers and help them make the strategic business decisions to execute their plans and meet their goals!
I have helped steer companies through the negotiations necessary for the successful conclusions of key events in their lives, from start-up, to major financings and transactions, to managing restructurings.

After more than 16 years in large law firms, with a one-year stint in-house in a successful re-organziation in the context of a shareholders' dispute, I have organized Newhouse Strategic Counsel to provide direct, hands-on service to a select group of clients. My team and I work directly with our clients and their other professional advisors making sure that things happen the client's way. We roll-up our sleeves and fight in the trenches with our clients as part of their team.
