How I represent clients at Schwabe
I work with clients to navigate complex transactional real estate matters, HOA governance, and general corporate related issues. I am passionate about working with tribal governments and entities and Alaska Native Corporations to protect tribal resources and sovereignty and strengthen tribal economies. My practice encompasses a variety of legal challenges, including assisting tribes with property acquisition and placing land into trust, preparing and updating HOA governing documents for associations in Oregon and Washington, advising telecommunications clients on acquisitions and sale of telecommunications facilities and leasing, and handling a range of corporate matters for Alaska Native Corporations, including settlement trust contributions, leasing, and government contracting.
During law school, I honed my skills in legal research and advocacy through my participation in the American Indian Law Journal and the Immigration Law Clinic. I also gained hands-on experience interning with several Seattle legal nonprofits and a local tribe. I enjoy working with clients on pro-bono matters, including immigration related matters. In 2022, I further developed my expertise as a Summer Associate at Schwabe, where I focused on real estate and corporate law, building a strong foundation to support my clients’ diverse needs.
