About

“Protecting the Net” best describes Keith’s practice and passion, whether it be protecting the bottom line “net” for his business and corporate clients through sophisticated business and tax planning, or protecting the hockey “net” as goalie for his ice hockey team. As Managing Partner of SPECTRUM LAW GROUP, LLP, Keith focuses on “deals”; capital intensive financing transactions, both public and private; mergers and acquisitions; business formation and partnering arrangements; tax and securities issues; and, general business and corporate advice. Keith has earned a well deserved reputation as a “deal maker” and skillful negotiator, having been profiled in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and INC. Magazine. In the role of advisor and not “just the attorney”, Keith draws from his experience of over 25 years as an attorney and businessman to provide exceptional analytical and execution skills to a variety of clients, ranging from publicly traded corporations, to large closely-held businesses, to significant family businesses and the owners of these businesses. An active member of the legal community, Keith has served on the Corporations Committee of the State Bar of California; served as a judge pro-tem in the Orange County Municipal Court; and, served as an adjunct professor at Western State University College of Law and at Chapman University School of Law where he taught courses in corporate law and federal income taxation.
