I'm Steffan Alexander Lazerow, a business attorney and entrepreneur with a decade of legal experience under my belt. I regularly handle most of what businesses actually deal with: formation, contracts, IP, brand protection, employment matters, disputes, issues, compliance, and all the smaller legal questions that come up along the way. What you get with me is someone who's built things too and is actively engaged in building new products or services, so I tend to think about your business from an entrepreneurs mind before I think about it from a legal perspective. No big-firm overhead, no billing games, no handing your matter off to a junior associate. Who I work with: I'm outside counsel to about a dozen businesses and founders in tech and SaaS, e-commerce and DTC brands, content creators and influencers, music and entertainment, and the health and wellness space. Why people hire me: I am an entrepreneur and an attorney; not just an attorney. I am an excellent communicator, can break down complex topics, and provide the type of service I would want when hiring an attorney. Background: I earned my J.D. from Loyola University Chicago School of Law in 2016 and have spent the decade since practicing business law. I currently serve as outside counsel to a dozen active clients across several industries. In 2023, I was one of a small group invited to Upwork's Work Without Limits Executive Summit. How I work: Law shouldn't be a black box, and you shouldn't have to nod along pretending a contract made sense. A big part of my job is translation, breaking down the complicated parts so you can make informed calls for your business. Expect clear answers, quick replies, and no jargon for its own sake. If you're a founder, creator, owner, or operator who wants a sharp legal partner who actually understands what you're building, reach out. I'd like to hear about your business. **All freelancing contracts initiated on UpWork are between you and Steffan A. Lazerow – Law Office.** While San Diego, California is listed as my virtual office; I live and work out of Wake Forest, North Carolina.
