Professional

About

I serve as counsel for numerous businesses, engineering firms, financial institutions, nursing and elder care homes, and hospitals. My commercial practice includes resolving a variety of matters relating to contracts, the environment, real estate, employment, financing, general business issues and business litigation. I work with clients on acquisitions, including those involving professional and technical businesses, and provide general corporate oversight. I have provided counsel on many complex business transactions, such as the reorganization of a cooperative, the sale of America's largest water park, the sale of a bank, and the sale of the House on the Rock, one of Wisconsin's most prominent landmarks. My litigation practice includes the defense of professional matters, insurance coverage issues, accident cases and other often highly complex business litigation matters. I also offer extensive experience as an arbitrator and mediator, including serving as a mediator/arbitrator for Resolute Systems, Inc. and the National Arbitration Forum.
