Practice Areas

For businesses and entrepreneurs:

Business Formation. Should I incorporate? How do I add a partner? What structure makes the most sense for my business? I'll guide you through choice of entity analysis (LLC, Corporation, Partnerships), planning, execution and maintenance.

Contracts. Do your contracts say what you want them to say? Do contracts that you're about to sign make sense? Do you need someone to help you negotiate the best terms? I'll help you manage your relationship with clients, vendors, stakeholders and partners.

Intellectual Property. I'll help you protect your IP, whether it's a few lines of elegant code, a novel or a documentary film, and keep you from infringing the rights of others. I'll also guide you through brand building and maintenance strategies as well as negotiate licensing or syndication deals for your content.

Transactions. Are you thinking about raising capital? Do you have questions about a potential term sheet? Or do you need fresh eyes to review your deal points? Whether you're selling a product, buying equipment, expanding your workspace or working on spec, I'll guide you through the myriad issues that arise. 

Tax Planning. I'll advise on and set up tax advantaged plans for your acquisitions, asset transfers, stock exchanges, reorganizations, estate planning, and real estate transactions.

For creatives:

Many of my clients are creatives and benefit from my professional exploits in writing, photography, podcasting and video producing. I regularly and enthusiastically provide contract, counsel, and advisory services for...

Writers, Photographers, Filmmakers, Designers, Makers, Developers, Podcasters, Musicians, Artists, Inventors, Journalists, Documentarians, Architects.

For families:

Life changes. Fast. Before you know it, there are marriages. Jobs. Kids. Real Estate. Gross estates. Health. Assets. And then decisions. Generational ones. I help young families formulate estate plans that can easily evolve as their lives do. Many situations are transactional and, in those cases, I assist with appropriate tax planning or as agent in a negotiation. If you have questions about estate plans, Wills, or Trusts, contact me. Finally, child advocacy is a personal passion of mine and if you have a situation where a child is involved, I'd love to help.
