Lets Connect

Business Doesn't Run 9-to-5.
Neither Do I.

Problems don’t wait for business hours, and neither do the best decisions. I keep extended availability for calls and meetings — early mornings, evenings, and weekends — because I know that’s when a lot of business owners actually have time to think through something important.
 
You can see real-time availability and book time directly on my calendar — no back-and-forth over email trying to find a slot that works.

Background — Twenty Years as the Only Lawyer in the Room

I founded DiVito Law after a 25+ year career as a General Counsel, corporate strategist, and consultant — including 20 years as General Counsel, and eventually also COO and CEO, of a telecommunications engineering firm I helped grow from an early-stage company to a 200+ employee national operation.

That career combined legal, financial, and operational judgment to inform high-level decisions and chart long-term growth. I built the company’s entire legal function from scratch, then found myself on the other side of the table too — negotiating a private equity investment as both the company’s lawyer and one of the executives being acquired, then leading a strategic acquisition a year later. You see contracts differently once you’ve had to live with the consequences of signing them.

I started DiVito Law to bring that experience directly to founders and business owners — as a true legal partner, not just outside counsel. A few things I bring to the table:

  • Strategic vision. I take a big-picture view of both the business and the broader market, and I’ve built and executed long-term strategy from the ground up — not just advised on it from the sidelines.
  • Sound judgment. I pair financial and legal expertise to help clients drive growth while protecting against risk and compliance exposure — informed by having made these calls as both the lawyer in the room and the executive accountable for the outcome.
  • Team leadership. I’ve built and mentored teams that consistently exceed expectations, and I care about creating a culture of collaboration, not just hitting targets.
  • Relationship-building. Strategic alliances, partnerships, and client relationships are won through genuine communication, not negotiation tactics.
My practice today spans business and corporate law — contract negotiation, corporate governance, M&A due diligence, and regulatory compliance — as well as real estate law, from residential and commercial transactions to leasing and title due diligence.

If you’re building something and want a lawyer who understands what it’s like to run the business, not just advise it, let’s talk.

When It's Outside My Scope, You're Still Covered

No single attorney handles everything well, and I won’t pretend otherwise. For matters outside my practice areas — specialized litigation, complex tax, IP prosecution, and more — I maintain a vast network of trusted attorneys built over 20+ years, and I’ll make the right introduction so you’re never left figuring out where to turn next.
