About Me
My dad is an attorney (litigator), so I grew up talking about the law around the dinner table. While I veered away from litigation and into a transactional practice, I owe a lot of my success as a lawyer to those early conversations with my dad (and later my brother and sister-in-law who also practice law). I learned from an early age how to negotiate and how to craft arguments around a certain position – for example, why we should go out for ice cream after dinner or why I needed a new toy. Now those skills translate into business negotiations, like who should bear the risk of a certain issue in a contract.
When I’m not practicing law, my favorite thing to do is spend time with my husband and two children. They are already pretty good negotiators themselves, and they definitely eat too many treats as a result!
