Read what others are saying about Nancy

Nancy is my ‘go to’ person when I need someone who is flexible and fearless in taking on new challenges and achieving excellent results across legal disciplines. At both OneWest and AAG, she fit seamlessly into the executive team, inspiring confidence that she understood and supported the business objectives, while minimizing risk to a level acceptable to the organization. Nancy is tenacious. She does not just accept matters at face value or simply answer the question being asked. She digs deeper to make sure she understands the full context. I will not hesitate to call upon her again should I have need for a consummate legal professional, who consistently delivers high level work.

Nancy was a client while at LandCap Partners and OneWest. She is smart, savvy and reliable. Nancy is particularly effective at working with her outside litigation team and her internal business unit to focus and narrow the issues. Her involvement makes the entire litigation process more efficient and less expensive, and more likely to result in a better outcome for the client.

At Classic Party Rentals, I worked closely with Nancy on several areas of the business including real estate, capital structuring, human resources and negotiating significant vendor and customer agreements. She was a key executive, responsible for some of the most critical areas of the business. Nancy has a great legal mind and is adept at developing pragmatic solutions to business challenges. Nancy is not afraid to roll up her sleeves and take on difficult situations. She was often one of the last to leave as a result of her desire to deliver a high quality work product that not only benefited the Company but was also fair to the other parties involved. Her broad range of experience across multiple industries gives her a unique view that allows her to go very broad and very deep in many aspects of business. Furthermore, Nancy is excellent at quickly coming up the learning curve when she is faced with a situation she has not previously encountered. The more I worked with Nancy, the more she became a trusted partner whose advice I sought, not only on legal matters but on important business decisions. Classic Party Rentals was a better organization as a result of having her on the team.
— Charles ("Chip") Brown, Principal, private investment company, former Chief Financial Officer at Classic Party Rentals
 

 
My Information Technology and Facilities teams and I worked with Nancy on two significant projects during her time at AAG. In both cases I found her to be laser focused on understanding and executing upon AAG’s specific needs and priorities. As negotiations proceeded, Nancy explained “legal” issues in a clear and concise manner, which allowed me to make informed business decisions. She showed excellent judgment in helping me determine which fights were worth fighting, and which were not, and proved a formidable advocate of AAG’s positions on the matters we cared about most. In addition, Nancy is an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Nancy as a smart and business savvy legal professional, who will safely guide your organization in achieving its objectives.
