Business Law Guidance for Every Stage of Growth

Whether you're launching a new venture, negotiating a deal, or navigating ownership transitions, I provide clear, strategic legal advice tailored to business owners and entrepreneurs in Seattle and throughout Washington State.

At Seattle Legal Advisor, I bring firsthand experience as a business owner, corporate counsel, and transactional attorney. I help clients choose the right entity structure, draft and negotiate contracts, protect intellectual property, and manage complex transactions like mergers, acquisitions, and succession planning. My goal is to help you make confident decisions that reduce risk, support growth, and preserve long-term value.

Legal Support Built for Real-World Business Needs

I work with closely held companies, startups, nonprofits, creatives, and landlords, guiding them through the key legal steps that protect their interests and strengthen their operations.

Business clients rely on me for help with:

• Business Formation & Structuring: Choose the right entity, protect your assets, and set up the foundation for long-term success.
• Buy-Sell Agreements & Succession Planning: Prepare for ownership changes with clear, enforceable agreements that reduce uncertainty.
• Contract Drafting, Review & Negotiation: Ensure your agreements reflect your goals and protect your interests. No jargon, no gaps.
• Mergers & Acquisitions: Navigate the full lifecycle of a deal with due diligence, documentation, and strategic counsel.
• Corporate Governance & Compliance: Maintain proper records, bylaws, and operating agreements to preserve liability protection.
• Intellectual Property Protection: Safeguard your trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets as you grow.
• Employment Agreements: Hire safely and manage risks with proper contractor, employee, and non-compete agreements.
• Commercial Real Estate: Review and negotiate leases that protect your interests, whether renting office space, retail locations, or investment property.

A Partner Who Understands Business: Because I've Been There

I don't just advise businesses. I've run them. I know what it's like to manage cash flow, negotiate with vendors, hire employees, and make tough decisions under pressure. That perspective informs everything I do as an attorney.

When you work with me, you're not just getting legal advice. You're getting strategic counsel from someone who understands the real-world challenges business owners face every day.
