Small business services specializing in contracts, compliance, privacy.

15 years of large firm and government litigation experience, in a solo package.

As a midsized Boston firm, we provide top-quality legal services to small and mid-sized companies. We do everything from start-ups to a $1.8 billion sale of a conglomerate in 2006. As a midsized firm, each client is important to us and each client works with both partners and associates (i.e "smaller clients" don't get pushed down to associates who are "learning on the job"). Our expense staructure allows us to provide servcies at more reasonable rates than other larger Boston firms.

I bring more than 30 years of experience in immigration law, with almost all of that time limited to business and employment based immigration.

I have broad technical experience from years working as a hardware and a software engineer in a computer computer. I have worked both in-house and in private practice as an attorney.

A quarter century working with intellectual property, technology and publishing has made me very strong in advising businesses and individuals on protecting intellectual property; preparing, reviewing and negotiating license, development, distribution and joint venture agreements; and working with authors and publishers on copyright, defamation and other publishing law issues.

My expertise in structuring and negotiating contracts for IT products and services is greatly enhanced by the fact that I have been on the inside of corporations in almost every component of the computer industry and, in addition, almost all of that experience was gained in California.
