Her goal is to develop your flexible path to success, eliminate the landmines in that path, reduce the frequency and costs of transactional disputes, operational crises, and personnel conflicts---and eliminate litigation.

Where parties are in conflict over terms of a pending transaction, at odd with customers or vendors, embroiled in internal or external conflict, Ms. Schroder can serve as conciliator to bring the parties into agreement. | |
| ABOUT SULGRAVE Ms. Schroder founded Sulgrave in 2001 to identify distressed power and technology assets for acquisition, while practicing intellectual property and business law. In the course of that work, she met numerous companies in various stages of struggle and distress. Executives and founders sought out her help in thinking through their way to the next level of development and through crisis and out of decline. Out of this experience, Ms. Schroder developed a deep understanding of how solid business people come to ignore critical, single points of vulnerability and, how, whether planning for future growth or sinking into crisis, they end up waiting too long to go to their lawyers. She saw that she could change these patterns of growth and decline and help businesses build in strategic resilience. Her analyses have been published in the Harvard Business Review and elsewhere. | | EXPERIENCE Ms. Schroder's experience includes competitive market analysis, intellectual property strategies, and regulatory monitoring.
