Fractional General Counsel, Litigator & Federal Appellate Practitioner

The Sigall.law Difference
Economically-Minded Advice
Nobody wants to waste money. Central to my responsibility to clients is advising them how not to waste theirs. Relatedly, I understand that extraneous legal costs can be a concern for many businesses, especially those preparing for takeoff. Which is part of why I enjoy the alignment that comes from Fractional General Counsel relationships; it's a cost-effective pathway for decision makers seeking to incorporate an attorney's ongoing guidance, but without the overhead of a full-time general counsel. Moreover, a predictable legal budget allows clients to normalize leveraging my value to their business.
Regardless of the relationship, I'll prioritize your business' economic interests when representing you, while striving to maintain prudent fee structures and provide as much visibility on expected legal costs as reasonably within my control. That paradigm positions you to focus on what you do best—running your business.
Exceptional Advocacy
In addition to my out-of-court practice, I am an active trial attorney. I appear in cases under active litigation in trial courts throughout the state, often as local appearance counsel. Being in court several times a week in front of different judges in different venues keeps me sharp as a negotiator, quick on my feet, and keenly attuned to the fact that every locality has its peculiarities and personalities, awareness of which can make the difference in close cases. That practical human perspective is an example of what embodies exceptional advocacy; it's not just legal book smarts.
My unique combination of roles and experience allows me to offer a wide range of insights and reliable guidance to my clients, no matter what their goals are or what they're going through.
Legal Services
With a Fractional General Counsel relationship (similar to Outside General Counsel), your business' team gains an integrated legal ally dedicated to its success - positioned to be proactive rather than reactive - and ready to scale the relationship with you as you grow.
I'll craft and champion your position on appeal with rigorous advocacy that leverages my standout analytical skills, creative legal argumentation, and extensive experience in federal practice to ensure your objectives are given their best chance of success in a court of appeals.
If you're facing a lawsuit or need to take legal action against another party, I'll work with you to understand the business considerations at play while explaining the legal considerations. That way we can harmonize our strategy and fully game out our options. We will assemble a robust case, positioned for our best possible path forward, whether through pre-suit negotiation or during active litigation.
Your intellectual property assets are protectable by law through patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and rights of publicity. I am able to help you secure and vindicate most of those assets and associated rights, as well as help you monetize and contract appropriately for them.
Sound Advice,
Serious Advocacy
In my practice, I leverage versatile experience to provide comprehensive legal services. The breadth of my skill set is particularly suited for clients seeking a Fractional General Counsel. This type of relationship is uniquely aligned to offer ongoing legal guidance and support that is integrated and synergized with your business. Sigall.law is there to be your legal department, without the full-time legal expenses.
In addition to providing ongoing counsel, I defend and prosecute my clients' interests at local and federal levels. My practice includes business litigation, trial practice, state and federal appeals, intellectual property law, contract negotiation, and more.
Ultimately, I want to use my experience in any way I can to help your business thrive, as well as provide shrewd representation in any unfortunate conflicts. Whether you're down the street in Chillicothe, across the state, or have a federal appellate matter across the country, I'm here to deliver the sound advice and serious advocacy you or your company deserve.
