Register Trademark

Rosario Sorrentino

"Rosario was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and professional throughout my trademark matter. He reviewed a complex trademark ownership dispute involving a competing USPTO application and provided a detailed written legal opinion within 24 hours. His analysis was thorough, practical, and easy to understand, and he took the time to explain both the legal and business implications of the situation. I especially appreciated his honest advice, cost-conscious approach, and focus on finding the most effective path forward rather than pursuing unnecessary litigation. I highly recommend Rosario for trademark, intellectual property, and business-related legal matters."

Assist with Equity Compensation

Anna Claxton

"Anna delivered exceptional work for our pre-seed startup. We engaged her for an IP Assignment Agreement, Independent Contractor Agreement, and supporting structural documents to onboard our first international contractor. Her drafting judgment improved on the working draft we provided. The contractor classification provisions, performance equity grant mechanics, and cross-border tax framework were noticeably more rigorous than the starting point. She also handled UK and Nigerian considerations substantively (UK Copyright Designs and Patents Act moral rights waiver, IR35 framework, Nigerian tax representations), which is rare at her price point. Practical orientation throughout. She delivered a plain-language roadmap alongside the IP Assignment Agreement, making it usable for both the contractor signing it and the founder explaining it. Responsive on revisions and clear in communication. Anna combines senior general counsel depth with the responsiveness of a solo practice. For founders needing a thoughtful attorney for foundational corporate, IP, and employment documents, especially with international dimensions, I recommend her without reservation."
