I manage litigation as in-house counsel for a leading publicly traded beverage company, drawing on more than a decade of experience as a civil litigator in Manhattan. My practice centers on the consumer packaged goods industry, where I navigate complex disputes involving consumer-facing brands, commercial relationships, business operations, and reputational risk.
As in-house counsel, I pair litigation strategy with practical business judgment, translating complex legal issues into clear recommendations for senior leaders and business partners. I am known as a prepared and determined advocate, creative problem-solver, and trusted advisor. My collaborative approach helps align stakeholders, manage risk, and drive high-stakes matters toward effective, business-focused resolutions.
