With over fifteen years of experience practicing law, I currently act as outside general counsel advising small businesses and startups on issues related to business structure, compliance, contracts, employment, general liability exposure, and intellectual property. I have extensive experience negotiating and drafting a broad range of contracts such as employment, non-disclosure/non-solicitation/non-compete, independent contractor, commercial lease and licensing agreements, amongst other contracts. I frequently prepare service agreements of all types across a broad range of industries. I am also highly experienced in complex civil and commercial litigation, which allows me to provide a unique perspective within the realm of contracts. I am barred in the State of Illinois and federally with the Northern District of Illinois. My areas of expertise include corporate formation and business structure, contract law, employment/labor law, risk assessment and compliance issues and intellectual property. After working with larger corporations to secure their profits and interests for so long, I left corporate America to help startups and small to mid-sized business owners build stronger, more legally sound businesses. I have a passion for helping small to mid-sized business owners and startups turn their businesses into wealth-building assets by leveraging the same legal strategies large corporations have used for decades to create real wealth. I enjoy connecting with founders and business owners, learning about their visions and identifying ways to protect and maximize the reach, value and impact of their businesses. Some of my recent projects include: - Negotiating & Drafting Commercial Lease Agreements - Drafting Trademark Licensing Agreements - Drafting Ambassador and Influencer Agreements - Drafting Collaboration Agreements - Drafting Service Agreements for service-providers, coaches and consultants - Drafting Master Service Agreements and SOWs - Drafting Terms of Service and Privacy Policies - Preparing policies and procedures for businesses in highly regulated industries - Drafting Employee Handbooks, Standard Operations and Procedures (SOPs) manuals, employment agreements - Creating Employer-employee infrastructure to ensure business compliance with employment and labor laws - Drafting Independent Contractor Agreements and Non-Disclosure/Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation Agreements - Conducting Federal Trademark Searches and filing trademark applications - Preparing Trademark Opinion Letters after conducting appropriate legal research - Drafting Letters of Opinion for Small Business Loans - Drafting and Responding to Cease and Desist Letters - Drafting and Reviewing Business Purchase Agreements - Managing business acquisitions from start to finish, including drafting and negotiating Letters of Intent (LOIs) and purchase agreements When it comes to contracts, I have not only drafted them, but I’ve litigated them too. Having courtroom experience fighting about contracts that failed for various reasons has given me a unique perspective and edge in contract preparation. I create strong and enforceable contracts that protect your most prized possession as a small business owner or startup: the future of your business. I look forward to learning more about your specific needs and how I can help you reach your goals. Please reach out to me to learn more about my process and how I can assist you. I service clients throughout the United States across a broad range of industries.
