Since 1981, the firm has prepared and negotiated agreements, structured transactions, drafted estate planning instruments, administered fiduciary matters, handled disputes and proceedings when necessary, and taught on legal and administrative subjects tied to its long experience.
The firm's reputation is built on decades of proven results and long-standing client relationships. Its practice areas have grown organically from core expertise, and its engagements are personalized rather than volume-driven.
The firm began here and continues to handle procurement documents, grant and cooperative-agreement issues, clinical trial contracts, Bayh-Dole matters, compliance systems, and related institutional work.
The practice encompasses drafting wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and directives; guiding executors and trustees through their obligations; and stepping into probate or related fiduciary proceedings when required.
The firm forms entities, prepares governance and ownership instruments, negotiates contracts, structures transactions, and litigates business disputes, title matters, and creditor issues.
Members of the firm have taught courses, written manuals and texts, created training systems, and provided specialized consulting to institutions, organizations, and other lawyers.
We serve the professional and personal lives of high-stakes individuals—from the institutions they lead to the legacies they leave behind. That is why a single firm handles government contracts, corporate matters, and estate planning: because for our clients, these areas are connected.
Our practice areas have grown organically from our core expertise, adding depth in each area rather than chasing volume. The result is a set of capabilities that connect naturally because they grew from the same foundation.
The firm's work has also extended, over the years, to selected cross-border and development-related matters; trademark, copyright, licensing, and unfair-competition work where it fits the practice; training programs, manuals, publications, and educational materials; and expert consulting for other lawyers, institutions, and administrative teams.
Long experience in contracts, grants, research institutions, corporate matters, technology licensing, training, and executive estate planning.
