<p>Miles benefits from a diversity of perspective gained from counseling businesses of all sizes. He serves as outside general counsel to emerging and middle-market clients, helping their leadership to cultivate and realize business objectives while sensibly balancing and mitigating the risk inherent in growth. On the other end of the spectrum, he serves as a seamless extension of the in-house legal departments for several multi-national, publicly traded companies, managing customer and supplier commercial contracts that require external counsel due to their complexity, urgency or both.</p>
