As Chief Legal Officer and Director of Operations at RL Corporation, parent company of Peopleflex, a staffing and recruiting firm, and AC Lordi, a consulting firm, I helped manage the firm as it scaled from one Pennsylvania office to ten locations nationally. I have worked with business owners for most of my career. As an entrepreneur myself, I understand that to be successful, you must take risks. My role is often to identify the specific risks in a given situation, and find ways to manage or mitigate them, and help clients make better decisions.
I began my legal career at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. I left the Court to work at a renowned boutique complex commercial litigation firm in Philadelphia. I earned a rare opportunity to work in-house at a client, where I enjoyed working with others to build something. I went back to graduate business school and earned a Masters in Management. Since that time, I served as general counsel for several private companies, before returning to private practice on my own.
As a Pennsylvania business lawyer and trusted adviser, I have advised senior executives on strategy, leadership, management, operations, risk management, and legal matters, and helped businesses of all sizes with their legal needs. Interventions have included back-office setup and oversight for foreign corporations doing business in the U.S.; contract management system development; drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts of all kinds; employment matters; financing transactions; human resources support; investigations; joint ventures; law department management; litigation; mergers and acquisitions; and wage and compensation compliance.
