About Edward

In any transaction, plan or dispute, our clients are presented with challenging decisions that may have long lasting effects on their personal and professional lives. Getting the “right” answer to these questions requires competent counsel. We analyze and utilize the law to anticipate potential risks and secure competitive advantages for our clients in the industries in which they compete. We vigorously advocate for our clients while advising them of the practical implications of a course of action, so they have the information they need to make critical decisions.

We encourage our clients to think of us as part of their strategic team. By developing an in-depth appreciation of each client’s culture, business strategy and risk tolerance, our attorneys can provide legal advice that complements the client’s strategies and helps them achieve their objectives.

Although we handle most matters on a billable-hour basis, we are often able to offer alternative fee arrangements. Regardless of our fee arrangement, fees are transparent. Each client receives a retainer agreement that clearly sets forth the scope of the representation, the fee structure and other important information.
