She makes research on proactive contracting, preventive law, user-centered contract design, visualization, design patterns, and text/image relationships to simplify contracting processes and documents. She is an author and editor, with several articles published and two books co-authored with Prof. George Siedel: (a) A short guide to contract risk, (b) Proactive law for managers: a hidden source of competitive advantage.
