Let’s connect to discuss your specific legal needs and how I can help.
I offer personalized legal services for creatives, entrepreneurs, and small businesses — whether you need support on one project or ongoing guidance as outside General Counsel. My goal is to help you create, protect, and grow your business with confidence!
Need to protect your brand or creative work? I handle trademark and copyright applications. I’ll guide you through the process and clarify what rights you’re securing and how to maintain them.
From LLCs to corporations and partnerships, I’ll help you choose the right structure, file with the California Secretary of State, get your EIN, and draft the documents your business needs—like bylaws and operating agreements.
Clear contracts protect your time, money, and relationships. I draft, review and negotiate agreements tailored to your goals — from production contracts and publishing agreements to management contracts and licensing agreements.
When someone infringes on your rights, you need to respond quickly and clearly. I craft strong cease and desist letters to help stop infringement and assert your legal position.
I help clients negotiate and finalize infringement settlements — resolving disputes efficiently while protecting your intellectual property.
Planning to seek funding or refine your vision? I write and revise business plans, executive summaries, and marketing plans that clarify your business goals and may potentially attract investors.
Not sure who you need to hire or work with? I’ll help clarify your team structure and connect you with trusted professionals.
Got a legal question or issue? I dig deep into your legal issues with research, present your options, and advise you how to move forward with clarity and confidence.
Before becoming an attorney, I built and ran a successful business — so I understand the challenges you’re facing. Rest assured, my practice blends real-world understanding with legal precision to support your success!
