• He has helped organize and capitalize privately-owned specialty finance companies that operate as mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs);
• He was counsel to a Special Litigation Committee investigating allegations of excess executive compensation in a shareholder derivative action;
• He was counsel to a Receiver appointed by the San Francisco Superior Court to oversee a lengthy partnership dissolution; and,
• He represented the manager responsible for distributing the remaining intellectual property rights of music legend Jerry Garcia.

In the now distant past, he was lead counsel in the following reported cases:
