    As an experienced New York Attorney, I am pleased to offer my services to clients who are seeking assistance with startup consulting and/or business related legal work. My expertise in both of these areas allows me to provide comprehensive legal support to entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes. I will speak to you for 10 minutes at no charge as a free consultation - just send me a message! My startup consulting services include advising clients on business formation, drafting and negotiating contracts, conducting due diligence, and providing guidance on intellectual property and regulatory compliance. I work closely with my clients to help them navigate the complex legal landscape of launching a new venture, and to ensure that they have the necessary legal protections in place. In addition to startup consulting, I also offer a wide range of business legal services. These include contract drafting and negotiation, dispute resolution, employment law, commercial real estate, and corporate governance. Whether you need assistance with a specific legal issue or ongoing support for your business, I am here to help. I pride myself on clear communication with my clients and a matter of fact attitude to keep your business progressing as quickly as you need it to in the ever changing startup world. I am new to Upwork so my $295 per hour rate is for a limited time in order to build my profile (I typically charge $495!) Send me a message and let's see if you think it makes sense to work together!
