A California solo practice for founders and engineers: entity formation, contracts, IP, and privacy counsel from an IAPP-certified attorney who has built the products, not just reviewed them.
Clearance, filing, prosecution, and enforcement for marks and creative works, scoped to what a growing company actually owns.
Formation, cap table basics, registered agent, EIN/ITIN, and Beneficial Ownership Information filing - set up correctly the first time.
Privacy notices and policies, risk and impact assessments, incident response, and AI-system governance built by IAPP-certified counsel.
NDAs, services agreements, licensing, vendor paper, and terms of service, drafted or reviewed against the deal you're actually doing.
Entity formation, a CCPA/CPRA-scoped privacy notice, and a mutual NDA - scoped together in one engagement rather than three.
A short questionnaire, scoped to what's reasonably necessary to evaluate the matter - nothing more.
A conflict check runs before anything substantive is discussed, then the scope and fee structure are confirmed.
A clear, written agreement with every required disclosure, signed before work begins.
You get a direct line to the attorney handling your matter - not a triage queue.
