    I write and create content for a variety of clients in a number of different contexts. In fact, there is very little business, legal, or creative writing I do not do, and do well. When I am on the job, assignments are completed with faultless professionalism. Deadlines are always met, communication is regular and detailed, and my fees are fair for the quality of work I provide. I am professionally cordial in demeanor and easy to work with. If I may, let me outline my background, then turn to specific areas of expertise. Practicing law, writing/creating/presenting content, leading teams, hiring, on-boarding, and managing day-to-day employer-employee/union relations defined the lion's share of the work I did when employed full-time. As a freelancer, I have a litigation attorney's training and experience organizing, summarizing, and presenting, both in writing and orally, complex and often contradictory information. I am expertly transform specialized information requiring technical knowledge into plain, east-to-understand English without distortion or over-simplification. An exceedingly quick study, under pressure for high stakes is an environment with which I have years of experience and in which I thrive. I am a published, award-winning, short fiction writer. Everything I write is invariably creative, drawing the reader in and keeping her engaged as the story moves along. (All writing should tell a story, even the most technical). I copyedit/prepare for publication autobiographies, biographies, non-fiction, business, and self-help manuscripts. Having written a novel myself, I am also available to ghostwrite just about anything (although I might not be the best choice to ghostwrite your romance novel). I have mastered MS Office (primarily, Word and PowerPoint, but Excel, as well) and all the Google Workspace apps. If you prefer, I am also more than familiar with the LibreOffice and FreeOffice suites of apps. Drafting, reviewing, and consulting with respect to contracts or legal correspondence you may have received (a claim against you or the dreaded “lawyer’s letter”) are areas where I am particularly well-suited to provide professional services. With respect specifically to contracts, if you require someone who understands all the implications, including the boilerplate clauses, of a contract you or your company is being asked to sign, or to review/redraft an existing contract template, I provide top-level service. If you find yourself in the midst of a dispute concerning the language of a contract to which you are already party, or if you wish to end a contract with minimal liability, I am available to give advice. Please note, however, that should the circumstances call for it, I will encourage you to formally retain counsel in your jurisdiction. My skills and experience permit me to comprehend the law in all English-speaking jurisdictions and to conduct legal research as required. I have an extraordinary eye for detail. Relentless describes my approach to asking questions about the context of a document I am drafting or reviewing. To ensure that my client's interests are fully protected and advanced, my goal is always to ensure that I do not fall into the “I didn’t know what I didn’t know” trap. US immigration law is an area in which I have specific and wide-ranging experience. I routinely draft briefs, letters of support, petitioner's statements, and related correspondence to the USCIS in support of the clients of the law firms for which I freelance. My skills as a general business, marketing, and SEO content writer (articles, blogs, FAQs) are also at the highest possible level. I write effectively in almost any context a company might require. When I practiced law, I crafted all of my firm’s important legal opinion letters because my writing was always easy to understand and persuasive. As mentioned above - it bears repeating - retooling technically specialized or complex material so that it is accessible to a wide audience is one of my notable strengths. I have specific experience writing business plans and related PowerPoint presentations. I am seeking general business and creative writing assignments and writing assignments related to legal matters, including contract drafting/reviewing/negotiating.

    A highly experienced and entrepreneurial lawyer, I work primarily with business owners and founders in connection with mergers and acquisitions, securities law and contracts. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, finished in the top 7% of my law school class, where I graduated with honors and was selected as a Managing Editor of the Law Review, worked as a law clerk for a federal judge where I drafted opinions for the judge's review and briefed the judge on applicable law, and I was trained at Ballard Spahr and Morgan Lewis, two of the largest law firms in the United States. I also acquired, built and sold dozens of businesses, exposing me to corporate and securities law from a real world, entrepreneurial perspective. I did most of the contractual, M&A, tax planning, employment law and other legal work myself for my own companies because I love practicing law. I thoroughly enjoy working with business owners and their management teams to craft efficient and creative solutions to legal challenges. That's why I returned to the full-time practice of law after building and selling a number of successful businesses. I’m now seeking creative ways to build a practice that fits into my lifestyle, and that requires primarily working remotely. Upwork is an ideal platform for me to connect with innovative business owners, corporations and law firms seeking top-notch legal work that leverages technology to meet both my objectives and and my clients' goals as well. I have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions, tax planning (I also have an LL.M. in Taxation from NYU), employment law, corporate formation and governance. I've helped many clients comply with securities law issues in connection with raising capital through private placements and crowdfunding transactions. NEED HELP WITH A BUSINESS LAW CHALLENGE? DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME FOR: √ Letters of Intent √ Private Placement Memos √ Subscription Agreements √ Reg D Filings / Private Placements √ Regulation Crowdfunding Compliance √ Securities law compliance including Reg A+, Reg D, Reg CF, Reg S √ Operating Agreements √ Partnership Agreements √ Employment Agreements √ Independent Contractor Agreements √ NDAs and Confidentiality Agreements √ Website terms and conditions and privacy policies √ Asset purchase agreements, stock purchase agreements, mergers and acquisitions √ Copyright issues √ Trademark issues √ Employment discrimination, overtime and other employment issues √ Appellate briefs √ Motions and a supporting memorandum of law √ Any other legal issues requiring experienced, realistic and actionable advice.

    My name is Kathleen Phelps. I earned my JD from University of Baltimore School of Law. I appreciate that your time is valuable, so here are responses to FAQs in a nutshell: * Admitted to Maryland bar * 9 years experience working exclusively with transactional business contracts * Drafted, negotiated, & reviewed agreements including: independent contractor/consultant, NDA, professional services, product and equipment procurement - both sale and supply side, partnership, equity/revenue/profit sharing agreements as well as equipment loans and rentals, property leases, software licenses/subscriptions * Drafted website and app terms of use and data privacy terms * Advised clients on complex, multimillion dollar agreements and simple, small dollar value contracts giving the same high level of service to each * My client list includes Johns Hopkins Health System, Grainger Inc, and CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield of Maryland The subject matter of the contracts I've worked on ranges from procurement of janitorial services to the purchase of complex, expensive medical equipment. Such variety requires the ability to understand the client's business and the subject matter of the agreement quickly, a skill that I've demonstrated. Also, I'm attuned to the client's timeline and meet deadlines without prompting. My approach to working with any contract is simple: (1) identify and mitigate risks to my client, and (2) ensure that the desired business transaction is correctly drafted. I am confident that I can - and would be honored to - assist you with your business contract needs.

    I am a business attorney with 11 years' experience working in-house for private organizations. Most recently, I was senior corporate counsel for a private equity firm and industrial holding company with lines of business in commercial vehicle manufacturing and sales, engineering services, technology solutions and software development. I supported our investment group's legal needs and transactional matters, e.g., side letters, private placement memorandums, due diligence, etc. I negotiated commercial deals with key suppliers and customers and managed a growing intellectual property portfolio. The team I was part of oversaw legal strategy, compliance and regulatory affairs, and managed outside counsel and other resources. Before that, I was corporate counsel for a global manufacturer and distributor of products where I managed the legal and compliance department.

    I have over 30 years of experience as a corporate paralegal from the top firms in Chicago, and specialize in two areas: (1) Contract management and negotiation, including contract analysis, drafting of MSAs, employment contracts, construction contracts, website terms of use, negotiating on key terms, preparing addendums, and managing document execution; and (2) corporate entity formations in all 50 states, including LLCs, C-Corps, and S-Corps, and all compliance requirements such as drafting operating agreements, resolutions, bylaws, etc. A study has found that "for 42% of enterprises, the top driver for improvements in the management of contracts is the pressure to better assess and mitigate risks" and additionally, "nearly 65% of enterprises report that contract lifecycle management (CLM) has limited its exposure to financial and legal risk." I assist my clients with setting non-negotiable contract clauses and parameters for negotiations on additional terms. It's a difficult process to arrive at the decision to pass on a project due to contract constraints, but most companies have had the bad experience of signing a poorly written contract and being on the losing end. My contract management experience spans many industries, including subcontracts in the construction industry, architecture field, manufacturing, SaaS, healthcare, influencer, service, and creative, which also includes AIA contracts. I have been exposed to all sides of contract review and negotiation. I am able to utilize my negotiation and communication skills to bring parties together to agree on a mutually protective and beneficial contract. I am well-versed in a wide range of software applications. I am professional, honest, and maintain confidentiality at all times. My English grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and punctuation skills are impeccable. I am available during core business hours as well as outside core hours, and responsive to emergencies and tight deadlines. Complex document prep/redlining/version control Complex financial documentation including IPO offering statements Contracts (including AIA contracts) Estate planning documentation Proposals Bylaws/Articles of Incorporation Development of training/procedure manuals I have keen interpersonal skills -- such as conflict resolution, communication, problem solving, and time management -- which enables me to be an effective participant in any situation. I am a deft problem solver and will always find a solution to any problem a client is facing. Also, I have traveled extensively both internationally and domestically, which developed my cultural and political awareness and enables me to work more effectively with diverse groups. Teamwork, communication, integrity, and excellence comprise the foundation of my services. Teamwork is essential and I will assist you with any task that advances your strategic goals. I pride myself on fostering a collaborative environment that results in higher productivity and success for my clients. Communication is also essential and I will always keep you informed of the status of a project. I will never compromise my integrity and will always maintain the confidentiality of my clients and their business. Trust is essential between both parties and clear communication and teamwork maintains that trust. Following these three tenets guarantees excellence in both product quality and service. My priority is your success! No task is too small or too complex, and I will provide efficient and effective assistance with any project you have. I will be happy to meet with you to learn about you and your company.
