I have a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology from York College of Pennsylvania. I also have a Master's degree in Criminology from the University of Pennsylvania. Until I started back at school, from April 2016 to August 2019, I worked as a Support Coordinator (social worker) for people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. I now work as a Probation Officer for a drug treatment court. I have been doing freelance writing for several years now. I began on Elance, prior to the merge with Upwork. I have completed many projects ranging from article to academic writing, book editing, etc. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in my work. I am also able to do some data analytics/data visualization projects in R. Although, I am admittedly very much a beginner. I've learned to use R in my Master's program.

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. I look forward to hearing from you, and to the prospect of working together in the near future. Sincerely, Barry

I earned my J.D. from Villanova University School of Law and after three years of practicing law I chose to pursue a career in medicine. I am currently a medical student at Thomas Jefferson University and anticipate graduating in 2026. Although my career changed, my interest in research and academic writing remained in both fields. In law, I was a published author in Villanova’s Environmental Law Journal and was an acknowledged contributor on faculty articles. I also acted as an editor on the journal selecting, reviewing, and editing articles submitted for publication. After law school, I pursued business and tax law, focusing on tax policy research and editing blog posts on the most recent tax policy changes. Now that I have transitioned into health and science, I have assist laboratory research and article editing for students pursuing their Ph.D., as well as faculty publications. I have been a clinical research coordinator and research assistant, reviewing medical records and contributing to medical research publications. With this background, I have developed advanced skills in academic writing, editing, and preparation of both articles and application materials that span across multiple industries.

I am an attorney turned nonprofit management professional. I have spent my entire career in either 501(c)3 or 501(c)4 organizations. My experience ranges from legal aid, healthcare, consumer protection, and empowering women organizations. I started my legal career as a legal aid attorney where I was responsible for writing the grants to support my position. As I developed in my career I took on more administrative responsibility and gained experience in contract management, compliance, nonprofit management, fundraising, and volunteer programing. Out of all my experiences, I find grant writing to not only be my favorite part of this work but often the most impactful. I am a strong persuasive writer whether that be legal writing, grant writing, or any other venue in which you need to put your strongest case forward. How can I help make your case?

I have vast experience drafting myriad business-related documents, pleadings, memoranda of law, cease and desist letters, demand letters, and opinion letters. My business-related documents include service agreements; partnership agreements; independent contractor agreements; LLC operating agreements, non-disclosure agreements, and employment agreements with specific emphasis on restrictive covenants (non-compete, non-solicitation, non-inducement). On average projects that include these types of agreements take 2 hours to complete. On Upwork I focus on providing paralegal services to individuals, lawyers, and businesses, even though I am a Pennsylvania licensed attorney. I often research law that spans the country with concentration on Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York. I earned my J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 2000. I hold a B.A. in Philosophy from Reed College that I obtained in 1996. Please note, as of 11/2024, my posted hourly rate is only for the first five hours of work performed in 2020 and only for the specific Upwork-based project.
