About
I offer a unique form of legal practice to suit the needs of both growing companies that may not have their own in-house counsel, or established companies where legal needs exceed existing internal resources.
I draw on my law firm training and my years as in-house counsel to give my clients the services they need when they need it. With my deep understanding of the fields of digital media, advertising, services, technology & AI, along with my business & strategic skills, I represent publishers, content owners & technology providers.
I act as in-house counsel for an emerging or smaller business, working closely with execs to develop strategy & fulfill day-to-day legal needs.
Prism Labs is an AI-based personal body scanning technology with multiple pharmaceutical, fitness, health & other business applications. I act as their in-house counsel, advising leadership on product development issues, drafting partner agreements & other technology licenses, and facilitating business integrations & collaborations.
I supplement an existing in-house legal team, where legal needs overall, or in a particular area, exceed internal resources.
At U.S. News & World Report, I support the legal & business leaders that run the programmatic advertising auction business, negotiating deals with technology & data providers, and with SSPs, requiring a deep understanding of the underlying technology and the privacy & data security issues that surround it. I also support other aspects of the business, including content & IP outbound licensing, deal work for the various publishing verticals, and vendor agreements, as needed by the General Counsel.
I support the audio licensing team at Anuvu, which supplies in-flight entertainment to international airlines, adding my music & licensing expertise to work with business & legal leads in negotiating complex worldwide licensing arrangements with major music labels, publishers & collection societies, helping to manage complicated financial reporting relationships and securing important accommodations for the client during these challenging periods for international travel & IFE.
I add my particular expertise & flexible work arrangement to smaller law firms that require additional support for increased client demands that may overwhelm existing resources.
I provide project-based representation to companies that may need help in a specific area requiring focused legal attention beyond what may be available internally.
I represent new companies subsequent to their formation through the development of key business & legal forms that will support initial contracts with contractors & partners.
I support each client's particular needs with creative models of representation & custom fee structures that work within your legal budget. Based in Beverly Hills, I am fully equipped to support my clients remotely, and always enjoy collaborating in person.
I look forward to working with you!
