I have saved clients hundreds of thousands of dollars through insight and experience in negotiating and drafting contracts and a thorough understanding of accounting; and how the legal and financial elements affect one another. I am considered an expert in licensing/franchising and brand management and am one of the most experienced executives in the hospitality/entertainment fields. I have been an owner, operator, executive and consultant with more than 20 years in product and brand licensing for such world-famous entities as the Rolling Stones, Playboy, Warner Bros. and Penthouse; and was a professor of finance and law at USC.
