Success story
Created the first legal department at a private money lender with 65 employees and $550,000,000 in assets under management. Completely re-wrote loan documents to bring all provisions up to date to ensure the soundness of the security and terms most favorable to the lenders. These documents survived trial by fire during the 2008 recession when they were tested numerous times in court and never found wanting.
