I’ve spent over 30 years practicing law—at one of the world’s top firms, in-house at a major biotech company, and now running my own boutique practice. I’ve negotiated over $6 billion in deals, advised entrepreneurs at every stage of growth and co-authored an international best selling book. But the work that lights me up the most? Helping women and BIPOC founders build businesses they believe in—businesses that are both legally sound and deeply aligned with their values.

Here’s what I’ve learned: most small business owners don’t realize how powerful the “legal stuff” can be—because no one’s ever shown them how to use it as a tool for protection, clarity, and confidence. Too often, lawyers are seen as a last resort or a necessary evil. I get it. But that’s not how I work, and that’s not what this book is about.

My clients often call me their business advisor as much as their lawyer. Because we’re not just talking contracts—we’re talking pricing, growth strategy, mindset shifts, and how to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship. That’s the kind of support I’ve built this book around.

It’s part legal. Part money. Part mindset. 100% practical. And designed to help you uncover the things you didn’t know you didn’t know—without overwhelming you.

If you’re building something of your own, I wrote this for you.

Let’s build it wisely, together.
