Biography

Diana focuses her practice on high asset, high conflict divorce representation. Previously, Diana acted as lead counsel to buyers or sellers in over 100 merger and acquisition transactions, ranging from $1 million to $150 million, and helped hundreds of companies raise private and public equity and debt finance. Her divorce clients benefit from Diana's deep knowledge of business issues. Having prosecuted accounting fraud cases and investigated concealed assets, as well as having responsibility to assist in preparation of disclosure documents in public and private securities and lending transactions, Diana has an excellent understanding of complex financial issues.
