For over 25 years, I've worked to become a trusted advisor to my clients and an advocate for their business goals. I bring a results oriented approach to the business and legal issues confronting my clients. I represent businesses in a variety of industries and in all stages of development. I represent health care providers, such as licensed home care services agencies, CDPAP fiscal intermediaries and assisted living facilities in a variety of matters including purchases and sales of businesses, regulatory, compliance, general corporate, finance, labor, wage and hour, HIPAA, and contract negotiation. 

I also have a wide range of experience gained from counseling companies in the software, biotechnology, restaurant/food, telecommunications, and industrial tool industries. I regularly advise clients on general corporate matters and negotiate and draft various commercial contracts, including IP licensing, distribution, supplier, manufacturing, web site development, employment and confidentiality agreements. I have structured and negotiated numerous stock and asset sales and have experience with securities offerings, asset based financings and shareholder/partner disputes.  

I've represented corporate clients in transactions involving the merger of a privately held transportation logistics provider into a publicly held company; the acquisition by a public company of the intellectual property assets of a Taiwanese corporation; the $75 million purchase of assets of a privately held bio-technology company by a multinational corporation; the preparation of SEC filings including a registration statement for the resale of convertible debentures and common stock, a going private transaction for a NYSE listed company, and Section 1031 exchange transactions, involving a real estate portfolio valued in excess of $200 million.

In addition to my transactional practice, I provide legal and business advice to start-ups and emerging growth companies.  I provide strategic counseling on a variety of issues ranging from choice of entity and organizational issues to issues involving the protection of intellectual property.

From 2018-2020, I served as a member of the Board of Directors for the New York State Association of Health Care Providers, which represents over 300 home and community-based care providers across New York. I am a member of the Home Care Association of New York State.  I have also served as the Chair of the Nassau County Bar Association's Corporation, Banking & Securities Law Committee.

In 2005, I was selected as one of Long Island Business News’ top 40 business people under 40.  While a student at St. John’s University School of Law, I was a staff member and an editor of the New York International Law Review.
