I currently practice in the firm\'s Corporate and Tax practice group, representing clients in connection with a broad range of business matters, including mergers and acquisitions, financing, corporate governance, franchising, and antitrust.I counsel businesses through all stages of their life cycle, including advising start-ups and counseling on exit strategies through negotiated acquisitions. I have been involved in a variety of mergers and acquisitions with domestic and foreign, public, and privately held clients in the manufacturing, technology, insurance, healthcare, retail, and restaurant/hospitality industries. I\'ve worked on numerous acquisitions involving franchised concepts and advised on franchise issues pertaining to all aspects of the transaction.My franchise experience also includes counseling both franchisors and franchisees on federal and state disclosure requirements and various state relationship laws that pertain to dealer/franchise terminations. I have counseled start-up franchisors, as well as mature brands, on all aspects of franchise compliance.

I have handled franchise matters across a wide variety of sectors, with a particular depth of expertise in the restaurant/beverage and fitness industries.I also regularly counsel clients on antitrust issues, including merger review and Hart-Scott-Rodino premerger notification filings, competitor collaborations, and joint ventures, FTC and DOJ investigations, and antitrust exemptions and immunities.
