Paul’s professional path has taught him to think like a business owner while also developing a deep affinity for closely held, cooperative and employee-owned businesses.
After establishing a career in California, Paul realized he was a small-town guy at heart. Moving back to his native Wisconsin gave him a chance to work as a general counsel and executive at a Wisconsin paper manufacturer. Those roles paved the way for his current work with businesses.
Paul’s clients appreciate his experience and his willingness and ability to answer their questions with practical recommendations. Businesses rely on his advice, often given in his role as outside general counsel, on governance, contracting and compliance.
Business owners and executives also turn to Paul for his extensive experience in ensuring successful operations and growth, and in developing and implementing ownership and management succession plans. Clients looking to sell as part of a merger or acquisition seek out Paul to close the deal and help them realize what can be the culmination of a lifetime’s work.
