Background
For 20+ years, I’ve kept one foot in legal practice and one foot in tech. I build monitoring that turns messy inputs—agency decisions, Federal Register notices, state rule changes, court filings—into organized, searchable updates attorneys can use.
I’ve practiced on both ends of the spectrum: Am Law 100 litigation and lean boutique work where you don’t get 200 hours to polish a brief. That mix of practice and product lets me build systems that match how attorneys actually work—fast, practical, and built for real time pressure.
My regulatory background includes healthcare data agreements and multi-state approval projects. Today I focus on legal intelligence tools for practitioners navigating high-volume regulatory change.
Focus areas
- Mining law — federal and state regulation, MSHA enforcement, FMSHRC proceedings, and permitting.
- Smart contracts and DLT — legal definitions, ISDA standards, enforceability, and adoption across derivatives markets.
- Parametric insurance — contract design, trigger mechanisms, and legal risk.
- AI for legal professionals — capabilities, limitations, and how practitioners should think about integrating AI into legal work.
