Seasoned civil litigator and compliance attorney delivering regulatory and transactional solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned civil litigation and compliance attorney with over 15 years of experience across personal injury, insurance defense, healthcare regulation, employment law, corporate compliance, and corporate transactions. I have managed complex litigation from inception to resolution, led teams in remote environments, and secured over $36M in settlements while ensuring strict regulatory compliance including HIPAA and federal lending rules.
I provide strategic counsel on regulatory and corporate matters, draft and defend high-stakes litigation filings, and support transaction work such as contracts, corporate formation, and M&A due diligence. I seek a full-time remote Legal Counsel or Senior Counsel role that leverages my litigation, compliance, and regulatory expertise to mitigate risk and drive favorable outcomes.
