Legal Areas
Legal Areas of Focus
Commercial Transactions
Commercial transactions involve legal advice and assistance to businesses during their transactions. This includes negotiating and drafting contracts, reviewing and advising on regulatory compliance issues, providing due diligence services, and representing clients in dispute resolution. I work closely with my clients to ensure their transactions are legally sound and fully aligned with their business objectives. These legal services are critical in helping businesses navigate complex legal requirements and mitigate risks.
Entity Formation
Entity formation involves advising and assisting entrepreneurs and businesses in creating and organizing legal entities such as corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), and partnerships. This includes selecting the appropriate entity type, drafting articles of incorporation or organization, and preparing necessary filings with the state. I help my clients understand each entity type's legal and tax implications and tailor the entity structure to meet their business objectives. These legal services are critical for businesses seeking to establish a formal legal structure, protect personal assets, and access capital from investors or lenders.
Data Privacy & Protection
Data privacy compliance focuses on legal obligations for protecting the privacy of personal information. This includes advising clients on applicable privacy laws and regulations, drafting privacy policies and procedures, providing guidance on data breaches and notifications, and assisting with compliance audits. I specialize in data privacy compliance and help navigate the constantly evolving landscape of privacy regulations and standards. I work to minimize the risk of liability and reputational harm. These legal services are critical for businesses that handle sensitive personal information, such as financial or health data, as noncompliance with data privacy laws can result in significant legal and financial consequences.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property (IP) is about protecting IP assets, which may include patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. I mostly focus on drafting licensing agreements and providing strategies for managing copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and image and likeness. I help clients maximize the value of their IP assets, ensure that their IP rights are protected, and defend against infringement by others. These legal services are critical for businesses that rely on their intellectual property for competitive advantage, as infringement or misappropriation of IP can result in significant financial losses and damage to their brand.
