I function as an external “in-house” counsel.  The result is tight integration into client business processes.

Consistent, always-available, experienced support.

Client Comment: In my 20+ years of working in the software industry, I’ve come across very few legal partners as responsive, committed, smart, and articulate as Len. There were too many things I found refreshingly unique about working with Len to list in a LinkedIn recommendation. Among them, none was more striking than his ability to balance the requirements imposed by legal standards and company policy with a can-do spirit and an openness to exploring different approaches in an attempt to find ‘win-win’. This attitude, with the mental acuity and flexibility required to have it, is the hallmark of a successful legal counsel. I would welcome the chance to work with Len again.
