About

My practice focuses on general business with a concentration in corporate finance, venture capital, securities, debtor-creditor issues, executive compensation, and technology licensing. I have experience dealing in franchising, asset securitization, private placement of securities, securities registrations and '34 Act reporting for public companies, reorganizations, mergers and acquisitions, business formations and shareholder dispute resolution. Prior to entering private practice, I served a two year clerkship with the Honorable John L. Coffey of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. I have also served as an adjunct professor at Seattle University Law School teaching mergers and acquisitions.  Exceptional client service requires equipping clients with the key information necessary to make informed business decisions. Providing clients with the information to make wise business decisions requires understanding the nature of their problems and the factors that impact the range of solutions.  Once these aspects are understood, the best solution often becomes apparent.  I view all client relationships as a twenty year connection, even if the initial matter may only require a few hours of time.  Based upon this philosophy, I take the time to understand the business of each client up front.  Over time, as I and our firm are tasked to handle additional client matters, we get to learn more about our clients and their businesses, which helps us better deliver legal services tailored to their needs.

Rick has been my attorney for well over a dozen years for several of my businesses. I have found him to not only have a great legal mind, but also real-world common sense. I have, and do, highly recommend his services. He has successfully guided me and my businesses from filing for a business license through the successful negotiation and the sale of several businesses. He is thorough, knowledgeable, and a true pleasure to work with.

Rick has been our business attorney going on 10 years and we feel very happy and comfortable with this relationship. Rick is available to help us out with any of our business concerns that tend to arise periodically with staffing, lease negotiations, our corporate franchisor relationship, etc..

Rick got us started when we were an early stage startup. Was patient to go through and address our needs even though we didn't have much affordability. Got us connected to the right partners over time. Gave us good and practical counsel. I highly recommend him.
