The Law Firm’s “Strength in Service” to its Clients is the equivalent of an ‘In-House Counsel’ to a large corporation. My Firm’s ‘Outside Counsel’ scope of work includes advising CEOs, CFOs, tax professionals, banking/investment officers, overseeing insurance programs and insurance representatives, analyze legal, economic and financial opportunities in the Clients’ industry and present options for its forecast on growth, development and expansion. Traditionally, this role includes, structuring shareholder programs, debt and equity issuance, asset allocation and diversification for investments options.

Clients with established businesses often come to cross roads seeing uphill challenges in their field of vision, clouded by uncertainty, wondering where the road will ultimately lead. Clients seek out my legal and financial counsel in these circumstances to light a path through the fog; provide an alternative route to understand the economic climate, or simply to pave the way around the rough patch on the road ahead. Changes in economic climate, financial volatility, can adversely affect industries in different ways. My job is to work with a client to ease the frustration of what to do next, seek out ways to veer from the course slightly to weather the storm or change course completely, to explore new opportunities, face new challenges that allow for inspired growth, diversification, and viability.

Fashion Law is a compilation of many legal specialties but primarily grounded in Business and Corporate Law, Contracts, Intellectual Property, Commercial Transactions, Real Estate Law and Finance. The uniqueness of design, marketing platform, and introductory presence into the divisional market segments embody both the excitement and challenges that this area of Law presents to a client and the attorney. For me this area of law is a passion, the creation of something from nothing echoes the entrepreneurial spirit, and reveals a creative talent that brings both beauty and joy to those appreciative of its art.
