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 your anticipated FAQs in a nutshell: * Admitted to Maryland bar 30+ years * Spent past 10 years working exclusively with transactional business contracts * Drafted, negotiated, & reviewed agreements including: independent contractor/consultant, NDA/confidentiality, 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 (I do not have expertise in federal government contracts) * 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 * Volunteered with the Maryland Pro Bono Resource Center to work on their Immigrant Legal Assistance Project 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 terms of 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.

Whether there was a substantive or procedural error in the lower court's decision, the appellate brief must persuasively state the facts and law in your case. It must be written in a way that tells your story clearly, while presenting strong legal arguments. LEGAL RESEARCH What exactly is legal research? It is an in-depth review of the laws, including statutes, regulations, and court opinions, which apply to the facts and circumstances of a given case. Typically, legal research is conducted in order to find support for a particular legal issue or decision. For instance, attorneys may conduct legal research in order to back up their arguments in court motions or briefs. There are a lot more situations in which legal research is necessary.

We assist you with the review process. BUSINESS PLANS AND/OR COMMERCIAL LOAN PACKAGES Preparation is key to success. Whether it is a business plan or a commercial loan package. It should contain answers to questions that will be raised. For example, who are you and what is your business? Are you offering services or products or both? Are they unique? Who are your customers and why will they work with you? What actions are you going to take to market your business? BUSINESS FORMATION AND FILINGS Formulating a business name and identification will be the first major decision for your business. The second is what type of business will you operate? Should it be a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, limited liability corporation, etc.? What is the risk involved and the tax liability? BUSINESS COACHING AND TRAINING MODULES Regular business coaching offers a mixture of accountability, strategic guidance, and tough love. It encourages daily planning and uses various marketing strategies.

I'm a patent and trademark attorney with over a dozen years of professional experience in preparing and prosecuting electrical and software patent applications, and over three years in preparing and prosecuting trademarks. I graduated from The George Washington University Law School, and I am a member of the Virginia State Bar and DC Bar, and registered to practice before the US Patent and Trademark Office. In patents, I have prosecuted in fields including software, artificial intelligence, hardware and circuits, networks, electronics, optics, medical devices, and mechanical engineering. I have expertise in responding to eligibility rejections under 35 USC 101, and have educated clients and other attorneys in best practices for both responding to and avoiding such rejections. In trademarks, I have prepared and prosecuted a variety of applications to registration, advising clients on proper use of their marks in accordance with the law. My work has also included motions and other filings in trademark oppositions. I can assist with your firm's overflow, manage the IP side of your company's in-house legal team, or handle your start-up's trademark or patenting needs. I will advise both for immediate and future concerns, keep you informed of developments as they happen, and make sure your case stays on track start to finish. I hope to be of excellent service.
