I’ve worked with Brian since the mid-1990s. He was part of a small outside management team that solved some major corporate issues and then assisted in the completion of a series of corporate reorganizations and transactions, adding significant shareholder value. Along the way he provided sound legal advice on ongoing business issues. Brian can concurrently manage multiple legal projects and is diligent, effective and a practical problem solver.
