About

I focus on helping small businesses and start-ups with consultation services and legal advice. Combining 25 years of legal experience with more than 10 years of owning and operating small businesses allows me to deliver real-world, tell-it-like-it-is perspectives with direct and practical applications.

Leadership, Membership & Honors

  • Massachusetts Bar Association, Member
  • Previous owner of One Stop Fun, Flat Penny Bar & Grill

When it comes to taking a business to the next level, legal considerations are often what can make or break those efforts. When I advise a business, I leverage expertise in multiple areas including:

  • In-house general counsel services
  • Contract drafting, review, and negotiation
  • Commercial and residential real estate law (acquisition, selling, leasing, financing, developing, zoning)
  • Business law (business formation, corporate governance, contracts, acquisition, selling)
  • Banking and finance (representing lenders and borrowers in drafting and negotiating loan documents and handling closings

I run Willray Consulting and Mair Law with the meticulous attention you’d give your own business. Prompt, attentive, and hands-on.
