Counsel to Counsel

Consulting with attorneys on business-specific litigation and discovery.

Business cases turn on how a company actually ran. Who had authority to sign. What the books were really tracking. Which documents exist because the business needed them, and which exist because someone wanted a record. If that is the terrain your case sits on, a second set of eyes from someone who has operated companies can save you weeks.

Where I Help:

Discovery Strategy. What to ask for, what it will actually show, and what a business of this type is likely to have kept.
Document review support. Reading financials, operating statements, and internal records for what they reveal about how decisions were made.
Deposition Preparation. The questions that get a business owner to explain what really happened, drawn from twenty years of having been the person on the other side of that table.
Transaction forensics. Reconstructing how a deal was structured and where the terms diverged from the parties’ conduct.

How I work with you

I consult with you. I do not appear, I do not take the file, and I am not trying to be second chair. You keep the client and the case. Engagements are scoped and priced in writing before anything begins.

Why me

For more than twenty years I built and ran companies before I practiced law. I read a business the way an owner does, which is usually not the way it appears in the pleadings. That perspective is the whole of what I am offering here.
