Attorneys & Co-Counsel

Trusted Guidance in Copyright and Trademark Law

There is no formal training path to becoming a trademark or copyright attorney. Most lawyers learn on the job—often under pressure, with clients expecting immediate answers. I work alongside attorneys across practice areas to bring clarity and legal depth to intellectual property questions, so you can support your clients confidently without stepping outside your core practice.

Whether you are a solo practitioner or part of a large firm, I serve as co-counsel, consultant, or outside advisor—helping you deliver high-value results in trademark, copyright, and entertainment law matters.

A Reliable Resource for You—and Your Clients

If you have ever had a client ask:

“Can I trademark this?”
“Do I own the copyright?”
“How do I protect my content or brand?”

Then you already know how nuanced these conversations can be. I help attorneys navigate those moments—whether through a quiet behind-the-scenes consult, full-service representation, or a second opinion on a pending matter.

Collaborative, Not Competitive

My relationships with referring attorneys are built on trust, respect, and discretion. I do not market to your clients.

Instead, I work in partnership with you, helping you:

Translate complex IP concepts into clear, actionable guidance
Avoid costly missteps in registration, ownership, and licensing
Strengthen contracts, case strategy, and deal structure
Deliver outstanding results without overextending your team

Then you already know how nuanced these conversations can be. I help attorneys navigate those moments—whether through a quiet behind-the-scenes consult, full-service representation, or a second opinion on a pending matter.

How I Can Help

I offer targeted support across a range of legal and transactional scenarios:

Copyright & Trademark Analysis

I clarify rights issues that impact litigation, brand development, or contract negotiation. One firm brought me in to evaluate a client’s IP claims in a pending lawsuit. The result: a restructured settlement with stronger protections and long-term value.

Due Diligence for Transactions

Whether your client is buying a business, selling content, or acquiring IP, I review the assets to ensure clear title, enforceability, and minimal risk—helping you close faster and with fewer surprises.

Licensing & Contract Drafting

I draft licenses, work-for-hire agreements, IP transfers, and royalty structures that align with your client’s business goals. My experience spans media, publishing, digital content, and software.

Litigation Support

When copyright or trademark infringement is part of a broader case, I provide expert insight, strategic analysis, and second-chair litigation support to strengthen your argument and give you added IP depth.

Catalog Sales & Rights Assignments

For clients selling content libraries, brand assets, or music catalogs, I help document ownership, prepare the rights for sale, and ensure the deal structure reflects market norms and legal best practices.

Master Class for Legal Professionals

To raise the bar in this field, I offer a Copyright & Trademark Master Class—built specifically for:

Attorneys looking to expand their IP capabilities
Paralegals supporting clients in content or branding
Legal professionals ready to lead more confidently in IP matters

This course distills decades of real-world experience into actionable knowledge that you will not find in law school. You will leave better equipped to issue-spot, guide clients, and know when to involve IP counsel.

Let’s Work Together

If your clients are asking IP questions, and you want to offer smarter, faster answers—without adding internal overhead—I would be honored to support you. Let us build a relationship that strengthens your legal practice and delivers peace of mind for your clients.
