About Me
A Modern Legal Partner for a Complex Business World
I founded Atrivus Legal with a simple goal: to provide the level of legal counsel often found at large firms, but in a way that is practical, personal, and aligned with how modern companies operate. My approach is rooted in more than a decade of experience advising businesses, investment sponsors, financial platforms, and entrepreneurs on corporate, transactional, and regulatory matters.
Throughout my career, I have helped clients through pivotal moments such as forming companies, raising capital, negotiating key agreements, launching new ventures, and working through complex regulatory issues. I see my role as more than a lawyer. I aim to be a long-term strategic partner who understands the business behind the legal questions, stays ahead of potential challenges, and offers solutions that support growth rather than slow it down.
I am especially focused on helping clients navigate the space where legal requirements meet real business execution. Whether I am serving as fractional general counsel, structuring a new investment vehicle, advising on a merger or acquisition, or reviewing investor communications, my goal is to provide guidance that is legally sound, commercially practical, and easy to implement.
A Personal Approach to the Practice of Law
Atrivus Legal was built on the belief that legal services should feel personal, not transactional. I take the time to understand each client's goals, risk tolerance, and long-term plans so I can provide guidance that supports their vision, not just the issue in front of them. Many of my client relationships last for years and grow as their businesses expand and take on new opportunities.
I also believe clients should feel comfortable calling their lawyer without hesitation. Accessibility, responsiveness, and a true sense of partnership are at the core of how I work.
Beyond the Practice
When I am not advising clients, I enjoy spending time with my family here in Carmel, Indiana. We love being part of a community that is growing, family focused, and full of great local restaurants, parks, and things to do. I enjoy traveling and exploring new places, whether that means trying new restaurants on vacation or finding a great local coffee shop close to home. I also make time to stay active and enjoy Carmel events, festivals, and short weekend getaways.
These personal experiences influence how I practice law. I bring curiosity, creativity, and a genuine appreciation for the people, goals, and stories behind every business I work with.
