Business law (including corporate law) covers everything from acquisitions to trademarks. I can assist you in all of your business needs, from starting a company to protecting its trade secrets. Running a business is hard work, so let me guide you in your important legal decisions. I will work with you to identify legal pitfalls that your corporation or limited liability company (LLC) should look out for.

Contracts and agreements should always be read over by a lawyer before ever being signed! In business situations, legal documents define each party's rights and obligations. I charge an hourly rate to review a contract and will explain what it means in plain English. Not satisfied with the terms of the agreement? Let me use my negotiation skills to resolve any conflicts. As a successful negotiator, I think outside the box and will come up with creative solutions to close the deal. Need an attorney to draft a business agreement to fit your needs? In law school I earned a Book Award for legal drafting, an honor given to the highest scoring student. Let me use my expertise to write an agreement that is easy to understand and reflects exactly what you want.
