Experience

1. Partner

   Ssl Law Firm Llp

   Oct 2019 — Present · San Francisco, CA, US

   Usually tenant focused, always a thorough issue spotter and negotiator intent on protecting clients from harm, or if that is impossible, alerting them to the likely trip wires in real estate transactions like commercial lease agreements. Been doing this a long time. And really glad to be back at a woman and minority owned firm with old friends who are fantastic, no-nonsense lawyers focused on the real estate industry.
