More About James
Corporate transactions offer unique opportunities for value creation, innovation, and organizational optimization, but each transaction is vulnerable to legal risk. James approaches all transactions with a mindset toward risk management in order to maximize transactional benefits.
James’ experience in the corporate and federal government sectors allows him to navigate the complexities of growth and development in the current business environment. Before becoming an attorney, he began his career in the US military, where he served in multiple deployments and assignments throughout the country and abroad. These experiences taught him that business is fundamentally about people, and that achieving an organization’s objectives merits full commitment to identifying and implementing practical solutions.
James combines the skills to succeed in dynamic environments with advanced, formal education in several areas pertinent to his legal practice. Whether it’s reviewing a request for proposals in Arabic or analyzing the tax implications of a LLC agreement, James knows how to help.
