In Christopher's words:

​

What I can offer your organization is reliable, practical and effective legal counsel tailored to your organizational needs. Offering effective legal counsel in an in-house environment is not about simply having a good handle on the law. It is essential to understand organizational operations and objectives and to approach the delivery of legal services with the purpose of helping the organization reach its goals. This is how I work. I will tell you “no” if I must but I will always work to find a way to say “yes”. In this line of work, we must always be ready to answer an inquiry with an enthusiastic response of “Let’s make this happen!”

Most businesses have acute legal services needs that are top of mind but they ultimately benefit from having proper legal counsel for all areas of need within their business. Deals might be top of mind but what about day-to-day matters such as contract management, employee matters or client confidentiality? I bring a breadth of experience and an ability to help with many areas of your business. Being such a resource provides me with great satisfaction and will provide you with enhanced legal oversight and advice for your operations.
