Dallas, Texas, United States
I am a member of the national commercial litigation practice group at Dinsmore & Shohl. My practice focuses on complex business and commercial litigation across a wide spectrum of industries, including business disputes, financial services and banking litigation, complex tort defense, and real estate litigation. Additionally, I have litigated cases involving intellectual property, including trademark infringement, and employment matters. I have experience representing a broad array of clients including Fortune 500 companies with sophisticated in-house legal departments and business owners in entrepreneurial startups. I have also worked on high stakes international white collar investigations and international trade compliance matters. I previously served as a member of a court-appointed legal team tasked with monitoring a foreign telecommunications company in the largest export compliance and trade sanctions monitorship in U.S history. In that role, I led and conducted international site visits, investigations, and audits involving dozens of countries and evaluated the company’s compliance with its obligations under settlement and plea agreements reached with the Bureau of Industry and Security, Office of Foreign Asset Control, and the Department of Justice.
