Townshend

  • Partner

I bring a relentless drive and sharp curiosity to every case — qualities that fuel my commitment to being a steadfast advocate for my clients in even the most complex, high-stakes matters, including in the courtroom. After starting my career in private practice, I spent over a decade sharpening my litigation skills as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, facing off against the largest and most prestigious law firms across the country and around the globe. I’m never intimidated by the size of an opponent or the pressure of the moment. I thrive in fast-moving, high-consequence environments, and I know how to navigate every angle of the legal playbook. Whether defending a client in a crisis or strategizing to avoid one, I bring seasoned judgment and a laser focus on results — always with my client’s best interests at the center of everything I do.
