Marta is a business lawyer with 15+ years of experience. My approach is simple and practical: what are your business objectives and how can I help you achieve them? Law is a tool that should be used to achieve your goals – not stand in your way. Lawyers shouldn't tell clients all the reasons why they "can't do" something. Rather, we should creatively problem solve and find an innovative solution to assist in accomplishing your business goals.

​

This starts with proper set up and structure of your business, evolves to managing and administering daily operations and routine transactions, and includes compliance and maintenance. Your ultimate goal may be to build a successful business and run it forever – or your end game may be to sell it and make a lucrative exit. Helping you through the legal issues along the way is my goal.

​

Understanding your business' needs, daily functions and operations starts with a solid lawyer-client relationship. I aim to understand the real needs of your business and build trust along the way. Advice given in a vacuum is less effective than advice given within proper context.

​
