"Serving as a client's trusted advisor is an honor and a privilege. I pride myself on providing solution-focused counseling and a meaningful client experience."

Overview

Biography

Rex's transactional practice encompasses a wide range of matters, including business formations; capital markets and start-ups; mergers and acquisitions; not-for-profit formation and governance; applications for tax-exempt status; and drafting various commercial agreements, such as consulting agreements, general terms and conditions, and ownership agreements.

During Rex's nearly ten years with a large Boston-based technology company, he worked with health care providers to improve operational efficiency, streamline revenue cycle operations, and adopt value-based payment models. His operational experience in health care IT gives him a valuable perspective in his approach to the legal concerns of health care clients, and his experience working for a large technology firm influences his transactional practice.
