Execution
Focus on progress, negotiation and decisions that hold up in reality.
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.
