The Practice

Business law is not a checklist of forms — it is the structure that determines whether a venture endures or unravels. We represent founders, family-owned companies, established operators, and the creative and athletic professionals who build personal brands: content creators, artists, and athletes. Across four connected disciplines — how a business is built, how creators and athletes are protected, how it transacts, and how it resolves conflict — each matter is handled by the same attorney, with the same discipline we bring to every file.

I.

Business Formation & Governance

LLCs, corporations, and partnerships structured for the way you actually operate. Operating agreements, bylaws, shareholder agreements, and governance frameworks built to prevent the disputes that derail closely-held companies.

  • ·Entity selection and formation (LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp)
  • ·Operating agreements and corporate bylaws
  • ·Shareholder, partnership, and buy-sell agreements
  • ·Board governance, resolutions, and corporate records
  • ·Ownership transfers and succession planning
II.

Business Matters for Creators, Artists & Athletes

Content creators, visual artists, musicians, and athletes face a unique blend of intellectual property, brand, contract, and compensation issues. We handle the business side of creative and performance careers — from deals and rights protection to entity structuring and dispute resolution.

  • ·Influencer, brand, and sponsorship agreements
  • ·Talent, management, and agency contracts
  • ·Copyright, likeness, and intellectual property protection
  • ·Business entity formation for creators and athletes
  • ·Royalty, licensing, and revenue disputes
III.

Contracts & Transactions

Every contract is a litigation document waiting to be tested. We draft, review, and negotiate with that reality in mind — clarity in the deal, leverage in the disputes that follow.

  • ·Commercial contracts and master service agreements
  • ·Vendor, supplier, and licensing agreements
  • ·Non-disclosure, non-compete, and non-solicitation
  • ·Asset and stock purchase agreements
  • ·Lease review and commercial real estate transactions
IV.

Commercial Litigation

When negotiations fail, we prosecute and defend business disputes in state and federal court. Breach of contract, partnership conflict, fraud, and unfair-competition claims — built for trial, resolved on terms.

  • ·Breach of contract and warranty claims
  • ·Partnership, shareholder, and member disputes
  • ·Business fraud and misrepresentation
  • ·Unfair competition and trade-secret misappropriation
  • ·Collections and post-judgment enforcement
The Approach

Document the deal. Prepare for the dispute.

We do not separate the transactional desk from the courtroom. Every agreement is drafted with an awareness of how it will be argued; every dispute is shaped by the operative documents and the record around them. That continuity is what closely-held businesses need and rarely get from firms that silo their practices.

Engagement Terms

Business matters are handled on flat-fee, hourly, or hybrid arrangements depending on scope. Commercial litigation may proceed on hourly, contingency, or blended terms where appropriate. Engagement terms are confirmed in writing before work begins — no surprises, no creep.
