Alan also has considerable negotiation, conflict resolution and contract drafting experience, which he leverages for the benefit of the firm’s clients whenever needs arise.
Finally, having served as the lead client relations and business development executive for a statewide law practice prior to joining Clarity Legal Group, Alan possesses a passion and particular expertise concerning the business and economics of law.
