AUDREY DAMONTE
I bring a keen business perspective to all matters I am involved with, having worked for 11 years as an in-house lawyer and in private practice. I have a breadth of legal experience, advising clients with their legal issues and finding solutions which align with their business objectives and their personal needs. Also, I’ve worked extensively in government relations to advance the interests of clients through the legislative process and access to government officials.
