I advise principals and investors on life sciences and complex real estate deals. I specialize in strategy, due diligence, and capital.
Found early, it is leverage. Found late, it is your problem.
The problems that cost real money are rarely obvious. They might be hidden in the documents, in the fine print, and in how people behave. Reading the room is as important as reading documents. Sometimes even more so. My work is to find them early and tell you what they mean, so you decide with your eyes open.
The next move, the sequence of moves, what to accept and what to refuse, and the fortitude to push back when necessary.
A careful reading of the documents, the record, and the room. Forensic findings that surface what matters. Not a box to check.
Clear thinking on whether to raise, how much, from whom, and on what terms, and the preparation to walk into those conversations ready.
The title exception that turns out to be the only access. The amendment adopted years after the plan that quietly changed what is allowed. The condition of approval that binds the next owner. The behavior that tells you the other side will demand a last-minute discount and walk if refused.
I do not give legal advice. I prepare you for the conversation with your attorney so you walk in knowing exactly which questions to ask. That keeps counsel focused on judgment instead of discovery, and it saves hours of billable time.
Medtech, biotech, and pharma founders building technologies that improve how people live, and the investors who back them. When objectives converge into an actual financing, I bring in the right licensed professional to handle the regulated work.
Principals and holding companies in high-stakes transactions where the details decide the outcome, across office, industrial, land, hospitality, development, and multifamily. Buy-side and sell-side, investment due diligence, and lease advisory.
Retained to examine or reconstruct a transaction after it closes: forensic due diligence, litigation and dispute support, and a clear, documented read of what the papers and the conduct actually show.
I read the deal, build the playbook, and run it with you to the close. My counsel is not a courtesy. It shapes the outcome.
I am a California licensed real estate broker and an advisor to principals and investors. My clients hire me for analysis and judgment, not access. My background spans capital markets, industry, entrepreneurship, and real estate, with paralegal training for document and contract fluency and mediation training for aligning a room.
One objective runs through everything I do: to leave people better off, financially, physically, or psychologically. Making a positive difference in people's lives is the point.
The earlier you bring me in, the more I can do, and the more it is worth. Before you are in contract, before you have hired your team, that is where the leverage still lives. If you are already represented, I can work alongside your existing team as a paid advisor.
