I am a seasoned attorney, legal and business consultant with a rich background in litigation, business development  and strategic consulting. Anchored in the San Francisco Bay Area, my career spans over three decades, blending rigorous legal practice with innovative business strategies to drive growth and success for clients.

Legal Expertise

My career began as a practicing lawyer, where I served as a litigator and the Managing Partner of the San Francisco office at McKenna & Cuneo, LLC (now Dentons). I pioneered the Litigation Management Services practice, introducing a quantitative and risk analysis approach to case and portfolio management. This innovative strategy led to managing large-scale litigation for prominent Fortune 500 clients such as The Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin, Unisys, and PG&E. These experiences honed my skills in managing complex legal challenges and leading large teams.

Strategic Consulting Executive

Transitioning from active legal practice, I embraced roles that allowed me to implement and lead revenue strategies in the EDD industry. At Navigant Consulting, I founded the Business Development practice and grew that group from $0 to over $70 million in four years. At Xerox Litigation Services, I advanced from head of Sales & Marketing to Managing Director and Senior Vice President within 18 months.   Tasked with revitalizing declining sales and establishing the company as a market leader., my tenure saw revenue growth from $50 million to $95 million and the company’s global expansion into the UK, Japan, and India. This experience enriched my ability to develop and execute comprehensive revenue strategies, fostering robust client relationships and driving business growth.

Consulting Expertise

Today, I lead Burrows Consulting, providing strategic consulting to companies and professional service firms within the legal industry. My focus is on developing revenue strategies and business growth. My goal is to help firms not only achieve but exceed their revenue objectives and create a revenue-driven culture.
