Paul also works with land owners, developers and builders in a number of industry-specific issues and he oversees the firm’s affiliate real estate title company, Crossroads Title Group, LLC.

His clients consider him an integral part of their team of advisors and depend on him not only for their legal needs, but for his counsel on management, governance and strategic decisions.
