Biography

Serving as a conflicts attorney for the firm for 17 years, I analyze and resolve conflicts related to new and existing clients, new matters, and lateral hires; I also collaborate with our team of conflicts attorneys,, recommending resolutions and assists attorneys with drafting waivers to ensure compliance and that conflicts are cleared. Prior to becoming a conflicts attorney, I worked in criminal defense, civil, and commercial litigation; this included court appearances, and motions practice, drafting discovery materials, scheduling all aspects of a litigation case, and assisting with trial preparation of exhibits. What I enjoy most about being a conflicts attorney is the ability to identify and resolve issues across many practice areas including litigation, public finance, business, real estate, and estate planning. By working closely with the attorneys, I am able to assist in resolving potential issues, and continually learn about other areas of practice and the potential for how and why conflicts may arise.
