Startup and IP Legal Counsel

Gene Rhough

"Gene was responsive, practical, and extremely helpful on a time-sensitive startup/IP matter. He quickly understood the business context, identified the key risks, and gave clear, actionable guidance instead of overcomplicating things. I appreciated the combination of legal precision and business practicality. Would recommend him for founders navigating early-stage IP, structure, and ownership questions."

Update Design Service Agreement

Stacy Dees

"This is the second time I have hired Stacy and it was a great experience yet again. I initially hired Stacy over a year ago to create documents and contract for my newly formed business. She delivered the documents on time, within the estimated hours, and the contracts included more than I even thought to ask for. When I needed those same contracts edited for a specific project, hiring Stacy was a no brainer. She is knowledgable and talks through your legal needs to ensure that your intent is fully captured. Stacy is the lawyer I will contact for all my contracts moving forward."

Restructure Corporation

Brent Xavier

"I hired Brent to do a focused review of a founder exit document package for my Delaware C-corp — five documents including an RSPA-based repurchase, director resignation, vested stock repurchase agreement, and separation agreement with mutual release. This was time-sensitive and I needed someone who could move quickly without sacrificing thoroughness. Brent delivered exactly what he promised. He turned around a clear, well-organized review summary that covered the RSPA mechanics, execution sequencing, enforceability, and the consideration issue — all of the areas I specifically flagged. His bottom line was direct and actionable, and his recommended next steps gave me a clear path forward to close the transaction. What stood out most was his responsiveness. He replied quickly, was transparent about scope and pricing, and delivered on time. He also flagged one nuanced point about the escrow materials that I might have missed, which was genuinely valuable. I'd recommend Brent without hesitation for any founder or early-stage startup needing practical, no-nonsense corporate legal support. I'll be working with him again."
