Your Strategic Legal Partner

With over 20 years of experience as a founding in-house legal counsel for high-growth companies, I have a “roll-up-your-sleeves” approach to legal strategy. I’ve built legal departments from the ground up, managed complex compliance in highly regulated industries, and helped businesses navigate strategic exits. My goal is to provide you with the same senior-level expertise on a flexible, project-based or fractional basis.

My background is not just in law; it’s in business. I understand the pressures of growth, the importance of operational efficiency, and the need for pragmatic, actionable advice that supports your bottom line.

Founder and General Counsel, Tanya Avila
