Deals, contracts, and intellectual property
Counsel for what you build
The deal, the company, the catalog. Someone who treats them the way you do.
Counsel across the full lifecycle.
Three things, really. Getting the deal done. Protecting what it was built on. Enforcing it when someone tests you. Tell us where you are headed and we will recommend the right approach.
Clearly scoped work
Every engagement starts with a short intake so we can understand your matter, then we agree on a clear scope and next steps before any work begins. The details are confirmed after your intake or consultation.
01 Deals
Getting the deal done, from the first term sheet to the closing table. Companies bought and sold, the real estate underneath them, entertainment and sports deals, and the agreements that hold it all together. Outside general counsel when you want a lawyer on call.
- Formation, structuring, and governing documents
- Asset purchases, buy-sell, and closings
- Commercial real estate and transaction counsel
- Contract drafting, review, and negotiation
- Option, talent, distribution, and NIL agreements
- Outside general counsel
02 Intellectual property
The brand, the catalog, and the things you would never file publicly. Trademark clearance and federal registration, copyright for original work, and trade secret protection, held together as one portfolio rather than a stack of filings.
- Trademark clearance, USPTO filings, and office actions
- Copyright registration and licensing
- Trade secrets, NDAs, and restrictive covenants
- Renewals, monitoring, and portfolio maintenance
03 Disputes
Breach of contract, business disputes, and IP enforcement in the Maryland and District of Columbia courts and the federal courts there. Strategy comes first, and the focus is resolution, whether through negotiation, mediation, or trial.
- Case evaluation and risk assessment
- Demand letters and pre suit resolution
- Infringement and misappropriation response
- Maryland, DC, and federal court representation
