Clients hire me for the decades of experience I bring to every complex transaction and my collaborative approach to helping all parties find common ground. I start each transaction by identifying the business objectives that will make or break the deal for my clients and the various needs and pressure points other parties will bring to the table. Once I have a strong grasp of the competing interests at stake, I can keep everyone focused on achieving a win-win outcome without getting bogged down in irrelevant details that stir up pointless conflict.
