Life comes at all of us at different speeds. Maintaining what you’ve managed to build over a lifetime and making sure that it’s protected for those you love is a daunting task. Our firm is here to help with the creation of trusts and wills.

The death of a family member may require legal assistance to administer the decedent’s estate. We understand that planning for the protection and transfer of family assets is a vital concern of most families.

Our firm has helped many families complete this planning. We are ready to help you do the same.

Intellectual Property

 

Ideas, tangible or not, are the most important things to protect in today’s competitive creative market. With so many channels and constantly replenishing feeds to watch out for, tracing the ownership and originality of a design, brand name, or invention needs the laser-focused eye of a trained attorney.

Digital Media & Technology

 

The internet, software, and technology are so pervasive that we can’t remember having ever lived without them. They make our lives simpler, but behind the curtain are fluctuating challenges in protection and monetization; challenges that our firm stays two steps ahead of. We’ve helped engineers, inventors, gaming startups, and entrepreneurs develop, license, sell, and maintain ownership over their creations. We’ve also negotiated purchasing and partnership agreements for larger investment companies looking for their unicorn.

Liability & Risk

 

Whether you run a store, a studio, or an eCommerce website, all businesses need to minimize their legal liability and risk. Our lawyers will assess the structure of your operation, such as its physical or digital space, the types of products you sell, who your consumers are, what type of company you have filed under (LLC, Inc, etc.), and so on. From there, we will tailor the right risk plan, complete with permit applications, insurance policies, and more, so you can worry less about liabilities and concentrate on growing your business.
