Education: Marshall-Wythe School of Law - College of William and Mary

Jurisdictions: Virginia - Admitted in 1993 (19 years), Colorado - Admitted in 1995 (17 years), California - Admitted in 2006 (6 years)

Sean's law practice is focused primarily on technology ventures, such as software, wireless telecommunications, and Internet-related companies, as well as firms in the visual effects, concept art and emerging media space. Sean's seventeen years of diverse legal experience make him well-suited to act as a "virtual general counsel" to his venture clients, guiding such enterprises through the complex legal and regulatory environment of the United States and abroad--and in all stages of growth, from founding to IPO.

Having closed countless complex technology transactions with numerous Fortune 100 companies worldwide, Sean has become the consummate deal lawyer, bringing to the table an ability to negotiate business-critical deals with efficiency and skill. During extensive international assignments in Tokyo and Munich, Sean earned invaluable experience in overseas entity formation, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, strategic alliances and international licensing. Because of his experience in managing US and European operations for a global software company, Sean is uniquely qualified to understand the practical challenges of running a business.

Sean began his legal career with a large law firm in Denver, Colorado, where he represented numerous high technology enterprises in mergers and acquisitions, business planning, technology licensing, and intellectual property management, counseling and enforcement. Sean additionally enjoyed an extensive state and federal litigation and arbitration practice.

Eventually, Sean moved in-house with Sun Microsystems, Inc., where he ultimately became Assistant General Counsel. In this role, Sean was responsible for software and technology licensing and alliances for Japan and the Asia-Pacific region, as an expatriate in Tokyo.

In 2001, Sean joined the wireless and consumer software venture Aplix Corporation, also based in Tokyo, as General Counsel and Vice President of Legal and Business Affairs. Sean facilitated the company's international growth and eventual IPO on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2003. In addition to his General Counsel role, Sean managed, as President and Chief Operating Officer, the company's United States and European subsidiaries in San Francisco and Munich, from 2004 to 2006.

Education: Golden Gate University School of Law - Golden Gate University

Jurisdictions: California - Admitted in 2003 (9 years)

I've always had a passion for the law and justice. As such, I gave up a successful business career in my mid thirties to obtain a law degree. I graduated from Golden Gate University School of Law in San Francisco in 2001. While in law school, I received multiple awards and honors, including top 10% of my class in my first year and a merit scholarship. I also received special training in trial work, earning certificates in Litigation and Mediation.

My law practice began in commercial/business litigation where I had certain aptitudes and strengths due to my business background. However, due to my strong people skills and a desire to help others, I became attracted to family law. My practice now focuses primarily on family matters, such as divorce, custody, visitation, child and spousal support, paternity, etc. I also draft contracts, both in the family law context (such as prenuptial or cohabitation agreements) and for a variety of business transactions. I mediate divorces and other family law issues as well. I've helped many couples resolve the most acrimonious disputes without them ever having to step inside a courtroom.

Before becoming a lawyer, I gained nearly two decades of business experience in fields such as real estate, insurance, finance, and banking. I am a former California licensed insurance broker and still hold a California real estate license.

My background and experience provides a deeper knowledge and insight when handling clients' divorce issues, for instance, establishing accurate income for support purposes, valuing/dividing a family business, tracing community and separate property funds, and allocating debts, to name a few. Having a broad understanding of financial issues has proven very effective for my clients. Additionally, having solid people skills and truly caring about my clients helps me fully understand the issues that they go through during their divorce. I approach each case with a dedication to accomplishing my clients' goals in an efficient and prudent manner.
