solve problems.
don’t fight about them.
Most legal problems don’t start as “legal problems”.
They start as conversations you didn’t have.
I help you have conversations that matter, sooner rather than later.
As a lawyer, I’ve spent years helping people have the conversations they’d rather avoid.
Here’s why I’m committed to the conversation:
65% of high-potential startups fail because of co-founder conflict.
Lack of communication is the most commonly cited cause of divorce.
Workplace disagreements cost billions per year.
Something’s got to change - and the most obvious one is how we talk to one another.
The fastest way to solve problems isn’t argument. It’s a two-way conversation that uncovers the real issue and what needs to happen next.
If you’re ready to solve problems instead of fight about them, I can help you start the conversations that matter.
the approach
who you are
Your business relationship feels… off.
Maybe you and your business partner don’t click like you used to.
There’s a a contract you want to revisit.
Or you want a gut check before a big conversation.
You want clarity, not chaos.
You need guidance to start the conversation, know what to say, and focus on what matters - without “lawyering” anyone.
That’s where I come in.
I help partners have the conversations they’d rather avoid.
Communication first.
Lawyer-ing only as a last resort.
Ready to stop avoiding the hard conversations?
how it works
-
Guided Conversations
I guide groups through conversations that too often get rushed, heated, or stuck — so you actually get to solutions that work.
-
Clarity Session
One session.
One problem.
Clear insight and a concrete plan forward — fast. -
Problem Solving Partner
Month-to-month support for the conflicts that evolve, escalate, or won’t sit still. Regular meetings + real-time guidance when things pop up.
-
Talks + Workshops
Practical, engaging sessions that help people handle tough conversations, communicate clearly, and build stronger, more effective teams.
about me
hi, I’m Aileen Furey
I’ve worn a few hats — advertiser, lawyer, entrepreneur — and each one taught me the same thing: conflict is inevitable, but avoiding it is the real problem.
People evolve, partnerships shift, priorities change. That’s normal.
As the middle child of two rowdy brothers, I got a lot of practice in conflict. If I hadn’t learned to choose curiosity and conversation over argument and proving a point, we’d still be fighting about whose turn it is to sit in the front seat.
My work today is built on a simple belief: most problems don’t need a legal fight - they need a real, two-way conversation. One that’s clear, candid, and actually moves things forward.
I help people tackle high-stakes, uncomfortable, or emotional conversations. I spot the issues quickly, explain the risks clearly, and guide discussions to get you unstuck - without burning bridges. My style is candid but kind, curious rather than combative, and always focused on what actually moves things forward.
Outside of work, I live on the East Coast with my husband, Jared, and our family. I love good food, great conversation, and I’ll jump in the ocean in any season.
