He has successfully advocated for publicly listed real estate investment trusts, real estate holding companies, foreign food suppliers, and closely held corporations in both state and federal courts. His experience includes handling complex business disputes involving insurance coverage, breach of contract, partnership disagreements, and shareholder derivative actions. This broad litigation experience informs his strategic approach to association matters, particularly when dealing with complex governance and property issues.
