I specialize in stabilizing complex, founder-to-institution transitions — building the legal scaffolding that helps founder-led companies scale without losing their purpose.

I've been general counsel for global healthcare and technology companies for over 25 years. I know how VC and PE deals work, how boards evolve, and which legal decisions lock you into paths you didn't choose.

I've built legal departments from scratch and know what works at different stages, and how to scale using tech to avoid or defer expanding headcount. I work on retainer or project basis - not hourly rates. You get predictable legal costs and advice focused on outcomes, not time tracking.

I work with founders who are past the startup phase but not ready for a full legal team. Dealing with more sophisticated investors and facing complexity your startup lawyer hasn’t dealt with, but hiring a full-time GC feels premature or expensive.

I help founders navigate evolving regulations governing telehealth, wearables, and digital health apps. Translating shifting regulations into practical strategies and keeping outside counsel spend limited to when it’s truly needed.

Clarity in a Shifting Regulatory Landscape

The regulatory landscape for healthtech and digital health is constantly shifting around telehealth, wearables, health apps and the introduction of AI.

I help founders by tracking changes, doing the deep research cost-effectively, and bringing in the right expertise when needed, so you can focus on building your company without losing momentum or overspending on outside counsel.

I work with founders and leadership who:

  • Operate in healthcare, digital health or with mission at the core.

  • Are scaling from early funding rounds through Series C/D, where legal structure matters but a full-time GC may be premature.

  • Hold real decision-making power and want legal counsel who respects founder control.

  • Value building teams and cultures alongside financial performance.

Simple monthly retainers for ongoing support; flat fees for scoped projects. No surprise hours. No long commitments.
