About

I am an outside general counsel, fractional CFO, and ISO 9001 consultant for advanced manufacturers located in Atlanta, GA. I serve mid-sized advanced manufacturers with their complex legal, finacial, and regulatory needs. I have experience serving both companies and owners, so I can provide more global and cumulative counsel regarding tax issues, asset protection, estate/succession planning, M&A planning, etc. Whether it's preparing a company for a potential sale, helping a manufacturer enter into a licensing agreement for a new product, planning for product liability issues, or dealing with the regulatory burdens of entering a new market like EU REACH or CA Prop 65, I have the experience needed to guide you smoothly through complex overlapping systems, fully explaining the nuances and tradeoffs of decisions along the way.
