PRACTICE AREAS
What we handle
Six practice groups, one standard: know how not to lose before you look at how to win. Every matter is led by a senior attorney from the first call.
Corporate Counsel
Outside general counsel for startups and mid-market companies; M&A and investment-document review.
We act as embedded counsel for companies that don't yet need — or want — a full legal department. From cap-table cleanup to closing a Series C, we sit close enough to the business to catch issues before they reach a term sheet.
REPRESENTATIVE WORK
- Seed through Series C financing rounds
- Asset and stock purchase agreements
- Vendor, SaaS, and licensing contract review
Intellectual Property
Patent and trademark disputes, license drafting, IP-portfolio management.
We handle IP the way we handle litigation — assuming it will be contested. Clearance searches, prosecution, and licensing are built to survive a fight, not just clear a filing.
REPRESENTATIVE WORK
- Trademark clearance and prosecution
- Patent and trade-secret litigation
- IP licensing and portfolio audits
Employment & Labor
Employment agreements, wrongful termination, EEOC, labor-board matters.
Most employment claims are decided by documentation created months before anyone called a lawyer. We rewrite the agreements and policies that create that record, and defend the ones that already exist.
REPRESENTATIVE WORK
- Employment agreements and handbooks
- Wrongful-termination and EEOC defense
- Non-compete and non-solicit enforcement
Litigation
Civil and commercial litigation, attachments, injunctions, enforcement.
We try cases to verdict, which changes how we negotiate every case we don't. Opposing counsel knows the difference between a firm that settles by default and one that doesn't.
REPRESENTATIVE WORK
- Commercial and contract disputes
- Preliminary injunctions and attachments
- Judgment enforcement and collection
Antitrust & Trade
Advertising compliance, supplier disputes, franchise litigation.
Advertising and franchise rules shift faster than most compliance calendars track. We review claims and agreements against current enforcement priorities, not last year's.
REPRESENTATIVE WORK
- Advertising and labeling compliance review
- Supplier and distributor disputes
- Franchise agreement drafting and litigation
White Collar
Corporate criminal defense, financial-fraud cases, investigation response.
When a regulator calls, the first 48 hours set the tone for everything after. We run the internal investigation and manage the outside contact so the company controls its own narrative.
REPRESENTATIVE WORK
- Internal investigations
- Regulator and prosecutor coordination
- Financial-fraud and compliance defense
HOW WE WORK
From first call to standing counsel
Initial Consult
A 30-minute call to understand the matter and confirm whether it's a fit.
Scope & Fee
We define what's in scope and quote a flat fee or capped estimate before work starts.
Engagement
A senior attorney is assigned from day one — not handed off after intake.
Ongoing Counsel
Most matters continue into a standing relationship, not a one-time transaction.
