ADVISORY SerVICES
Beyond the contract
The legal expertise is always in the room; it just isn't always the point.
I help clients with critical decisions — a risky professional opportunity, a high-stakes management conflict, or the decision-making process itself when it matters most.
The vantage point
My experience comes from twenty-five-plus years in fashion and luxury — from the negotiating table to the rooms where things actually get decided.
In the sample room, persuading the CFO to unfire the best shoe designer in Italy.
In the hotel lobby with the operating partner, accounting for the late prototypes and the olives on the bill.
On an urgent Zoom call with the PR team six time zones away, Halloween night, advising on fact vs opinion in a squirrel costume.
Where do you start?
A problem without a name or an obvious clear starting point. Is it legal? Strategic? A leadership challenge? Founder, CEO, Creative Director — the higher up the ladder, the more likely you have no one to talk to.
You can’t ignore it forever or risk handing it off to the wrong person.
Contact me. I'll explain how I work, and we’ll schedule an appointment.
