No Conflicts, No Bureaucracy, Just Results
Larger law firms often face conflicts of interest that prevent them from taking your case—or assign the matter to a large team of associates by default.
By working with me, you receive conflict-free, strategic advice with a direct line to the decision-maker—no unnecessary layers, no delays, and no inefficiencies.
When a larger team or complementary expertise is genuinely necessary for a matter, I can quickly draw on a large network of leading practitioners and experts across jurisdictions.

Aius Locutius
Aius Locutius
According to Roman mythology, the god Aius Locutius warned of the invasion of Rome by the Gauls in the 4th century BC, and encouraged the Romans to strengthen their fortifications.
Unlike other Roman gods, Aius communicated his warning to a plebeian rather than an oracle or statesman, and otherwise limited his involvement in human affairs.
