Wendy dedicates a significant portion of her practice to business law matters, and she deeply understands the needs of business owners, as her husband and brother-in-law own and operate a 75-year-old family company based in Eugene. Wendy helps her business clients at all stages of the continuum, from start-up to merger/acquisition. Wendy’s past experiences working in-house for a real estate developer make her particularly adept at drafting real estate sale and lease agreements as well as other commercial transactions. She is also an experienced estate planning/trust administration attorney, and she regularly creates and implements intergenerational wealth transfer and business succession plans. Wendy is also passionate about supporting our local nonprofit community and guiding them towards their best path forward, whether that’s by volunteering on a board, being engaged as their lawyer, providing legal counsel on nonprofit tax law, or advice on corporate governance issues.
Wendy was born and raised in Eugene and has lived most of her life in this community, except for her time spent at University of Chicago and working in the real estate industry after college. Wendy’s four wonderful children keep her quite busy outside of the office. On weekends, you can find her playing tennis, boating, reading, and trying her hand at golf. She is also an active volunteer in the community, serving a number of organizations focused on health, education, and children’s issues.
