1. Briefly describe your practice.
I am a Shareholder at Lane Powell's Seattle office. I have particular experience in new product development across a wide range of consumer-facing banking and e-commerce products and deal with banking and consumer regulatory issues and regulators throughout the U.S.
2. You recently attended our first Meet & Greet (informal orientation session for those new to WLG) and the first meeting of the newly formed Banking & Finance Group. What you hope to get out of membership in this Group?
I was highly impressed with the many articulate and bright lawyers from around the world that were in the Meet & Greet session. I have had a number of interactions over the years with WLG members across the globe and have found them to be both responsive to, and knowledgeable about, our clients needs. I am excited about the new Banking & Finance Group to help me get more involved with similar practitioners in the network.
3. What are your favorite things to do in your spare time?
Reading, jogging, and spending time (now on Zoom, I'm afraid) with family, friends and colleagues. I look forward, hopefully in the near future, to attending concerts, plays and operas and going out to restaurants!
