I'm Julie Bordo.

I provide experienced legal and consulting services to businesses.

I serve as outside counsel and consultant to businesses ranging from a multi-billion-dollar consumer goods firm to innovative tech start-ups. I offer a 360° view to meet the unique demands of running a business.

I am devoted to growing and maintaining my clients' most valuable assets: relationships.

My work is rooted in creative ideas, strong relationships, and effective communication.

Contracts govern professional relationships and manage risk. When contemplating a business transaction or relationship you want to ensure it contains the terms that best protect your interests and meet your needs. With over thirty years of experience beginning in litigation and then counseling businesses on all manner of things, I know how to safeguard your interests and balance risk. My talent thrives in listening to my clients, identifying their objectives, understanding their vision and integrating it into every transaction.

Julie has been most supportive of our growing business over many years.

She has always been responsive, thorough, clear spoken on often complex matters and most importantly for us, practically minded. I thoroughly enjoy working with her.

I am absolutely thrilled to have Julie on my legal team.

No boilerplate contracts for us! She drafted our contracts to align with our needs. She is always available to discuss topics that might cause risk, and suggests solutions to keep me safe. I sleep better at night knowing we are protected while we grow!

- Rebecca Berneck, Officeheads, Inc.

Julie was invaluable in helping our business through a difficult transition.

Julie was professional and always presented us with honest and sensible legal scenarios. Given the timeliness and urgency of some of the negotiations, she always made herself available. We highly recommend her.

Speaking Engagements

About Me

My True North is guided by relationships. I started my legal career in litigation, then my path widened and I began counseling businesses. This gave me the full perspective from each side of the litigation bar to the tensions impacting business partners from every angle—the 360° view in full relief. For over 30 years I have achieved excellent results by asking incisive questions, listening and unifying concepts into creative solutions focused on maintaining the integrity of relationships and adding intrinsic value. Along the way, I raised my children in partnership with my husband, actively participated in our community and friendships, mentored young people and advocated to eradicate global poverty and preventable disease in the developing world. My most treasured compliment is that I am “Good at Life.”
