Jim understands that relationships matter. Jim’s long-standing relationships within the design community are the reason he practiced as long as he did.

Over the past 40+ years, Jim developed a reputation among design professionals and lawyers alike as a tenacious and successful advocate. With dozens of trials and arbitrations under his belt, Jim brought his experience from the courtroom to the boardroom when counseling his clients on corporate transactional matters.

After 2015, Jim focused his practice on the business-side of operating a design firm, including corporate formation and governance, insurance and risk management related issues, and successful transition planning.

Jim provided invaluable mentorship to the lawyers at the firm, and we appreciate the years of service he provided to the design community prior to his retirement.
