A native Coloradoan, Stacey grew up in rural Douglas County. Now holding a B.S. in Business Administration from Colorado State University, Stacey has a natural aptitude for business operations and management. Following business school, Stacey attended the University of Iowa College of Law, where she graduated with honors. She proceeded to practice at well-regarded boutique firms in Iowa for 12 years, where she gained experience in a broad range of dispute resolution from small claims to appellate litigation before focusing her transactional practice.

When not practicing law or spending time with her two children, Stacey enjoys camping, biking, cooking, quilting, home renovations, fiction reading, and yelling at the television during Broncos and Hawkeye football games.

In her current practice, Stacey regularly advises businesses at every stage of the corporate life cycle on strategic matters and corporate governance, including:

• M&A,

Sensitive to her clients’ communicated goals, Stacey often guides clients in balancing their economic and legal interests against the practical workability and livability of proposed solutions. Her aim is to promote peace of mind and long-term success for her clients within their individual levels of risk tolerance. She believes the best outcome is one that is easily lived with, rather than one that looks good on paper.

In addition to her legal experience, Stacey has first-hand experience as a business owner and entrepreneur, having previously owned various law firm and commercial real estate entities before joining Business Law Group.
