Background

Ashley focuses exclusively on advising corporate clients. From formation to exit, fundraising to litigation, Ashley is an experienced advocate who keeps her eye on the bottom line.

Like many of her clients, Ashley is an entrepreneur. After being battle-tested at a mid-sized business law firm in Portland, she and her husband Jeff and law school classmate Kristie realized their long-standing dream of owning their own firm. They’re now living out the advice they give their clients.

Ashley focuses on providing savvy, practical advice to businesses that are growing, fundraising, and contemplating exits. She’s experienced in advising companies in how to protect their intellectual property portfolios, how to raise money the right way, how to negotiate contracts with key advisers and vendors, and how to avoid legal pitfalls before they become a problem. And when they do become a problem, Ashley isn’t afraid to fight for her clients in litigation.

Outside of work, Ashley enjoys diving and exploring the Pacific NW with her husband Jeff, daughter Eliza, and two fantastic dogs Zoey and Heike.
