Nick builds legal workflows with the same compounding improvement mindset he learned as a software developer.
Nick is a founding attorney at Neon Law, a law firm dedicated to improving access to justice by applying software techniques to automate legal workflows.
Before practicing law, Nick spent years as a software developer, including five years at Apple. He helped lead Apple's data engineering meetup, taught programming-language concepts, and kept returning to the same lesson: software creates compounding gains when teams continuously improve the systems they build on.
Nick learned to code in law school after seeing how much legal work depends on repetitive processes. That experience shaped his practice: he helps people and businesses use careful legal systems instead of one-off paperwork.
His work includes a prisoners' rights Eighth Amendment case challenging cruel and unusual punishment, weekly Ask a Lawyer sessions, and startup counsel for emerging technology companies that later sold enterprise contracts to companies including Apple and Netflix.
In his spare time, Nick enjoys travel, time with family, and hot yoga.
