Starting a business? Leaving a partnership? Negotiating a licensing deal? Staring at a contract you don’t understand?
Running a business means navigating legal decisions constantly—and most of them don’t have obvious answers. You need someone who can help you structure your business properly, negotiate deals that protect you, and handle the contracts that keep everything running.
Whether you’re forming your first LLC, untangling a messy partnership, reviewing a vendor agreement, or dealing with a client who won’t pay, you need legal guidance that’s strategic, responsive, and built for how modern businesses actually work.
I help businesses:
- Form business entities and structure ownership properly
- Draft and negotiate operating agreements and partnership terms
- Handle buy-sell agreements and business exit strategies
- Create and review customer agreements, service contracts, and vendor relationships
- Draft independent contractor and employment agreements with IP protections
- Review and negotiate contracts (because AI-generated templates and borrowed language leave you exposed)
- Negotiate licensing deals and revenue-sharing arrangements
- Mediate business disputes and facilitate productive resolutions
- Send demand letters and resolve contract disputes
- Navigate business transitions, dissolutions, and ownership changes
Common questions I answer:
- Should I form an LLC or a corporation?
- How do I protect myself when bringing on a business partner?
- What happens if I want to leave the business or buy out my partner?
- Can I just use a ChatGPT contract or copy one from another company?
- How do I make sure I own the work contractors create for me?
- What’s the difference between an MSA and a SOW?
- What should I do if a client won’t pay or a vendor breaches our agreement?
- How do licensing deals actually work?
- When should I consider mediation vs. litigation?
Need to resolve a dispute without going to court?
I also offer mediation services for contract disagreements, partnership conflicts, vendor disputes, and employment issues. Mediation resolves problems faster, cheaper, and with less damage to relationships than litigation. Schedule a consultation to discuss whether mediation is right for your situation.
