Your commercial General Counsel — when you need it, how you need it

A founder before I was a lawyer — and it shows in the work.

I’ve been practising law since 2007 — 15+ years across senior in-house roles and private practice, advising investors, founders and boards on the moments that move a business forward. I started my legal career at Minter Ellison Rudd Watts in the Corporate/Commercial team. I’m a commercial lawyer first: I care as much about whether a deal is the right one as whether the paperwork is tidy. I was admitted to the New York Bar in 2019.

Before law, I was a founder myself. In the years before snowboarding hit the mainstream, I built a snowboard apparel brand for women — and grew it into a globally distributed business, with a licensed range of snowboards, bindings and boots manufactured and sold under it in Japan. Then I moved into law.
