At the Keuling Law Firm, I advise businesses of all sizes—from startups and small businesses to investor groups, not-for-profits, and multinational corporations. As an experienced corporate attorney admitted in Indiana and New York, I guide clients through every stage of the business lifecycle: formation, daily operations, growth through mergers and acquisitions, and eventual transition or dissolution.

I provide strategic counsel to U.S. companies expanding abroad and international businesses establishing operations in the United States. I also mentor entrepreneurs and early-stage companies, helping them refine business, financing, and technology strategies to support rapid growth.
