Background
"Negotiation, pace and decisiveness matter just as much as the legal provisions."
My approach is shaped by both leading transaction experience and a life outside the law. I have worked on complex investments, shareholder agreements and M&A transactions where negotiation, pace and decisiveness matter as much as the legal provisions.
Before I became a lawyer, I was a butcher, a soldier and a Muay Thai trainer, among other things. That has given me a pragmatic style: clear communication, defined priorities and focus on solutions that work in practice.
