I love reviewing & drafting contracts. Thinking through win-wins & keeping my clients safe from pitfalls. I look for red flags & advise on risk-reward. No gratuitous markups - I give each contract the attention it deserves. I can help with just about any kind of contract.

Disputes and litigation suck. But I can help. Whether you’re going on offense or playing defense, I can walk you through your options, inform you of the difficult trade offs, and make recommendations. I handle some litigation myself and refer some out as appropriate.

In addition to drafting employment and independent contractor agreements including employee handbooks, I can advise you on state and federal employment requirements and walk you though best practices for hiring, managing and offboarding.

I can file your Trademark or Copyright application, and advise on a variety of Intellectual Property matters including trade secrets, common law trademark, and how best to protect your assets. While I don’t handle Patents directly, I can refer you to someone who does.

I’ve formed many new business entities. I can get you set up, advise on which business structure is best for you, e.g. LLC, C Corp, S Corp, Partnership, whether to incorporate in a different state, and walk through tax trade offs, etc. Flat rate for most formations.

I’ve raised venture funding as a startup founder and papered deals for clients. Beyond the paperwork, I can advise you on deal terms and provide feedback on industry standards, valuations and key “gotchas”. Also happy to review term sheets as you get them!
