Who the Firm Represents

Built for the people building real companies in Los Angeles.

Founders building real companies across LA’s tech, media, fashion, and consumer-product industries. Creators and influencers operating businesses with brand deals, intellectual property, and team members across platforms, with the firm sitting inside the LA creator economy where those deals originate.

Family-owned operators across LA’s restaurants, hospitality, real estate, professional services, and contracting. High earners with multi-state or multi-entity tax positions. Couples drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements where the financial circumstances justify a substantive agreement. Operators preparing a business for sale or transition.

What the Firm Covers

Integrated counsel across the matters an LA company actually faces.

Business Formation & Governance

Entity selection, formation, operating and shareholder agreements, and the governance documents that hold up as the company grows across LA’s tech, media, fashion, and consumer-product industries.

Commercial Contracts

Customer, vendor, partnership, and platform agreements drafted and reviewed for the founders, creators, and family-owned operators building real companies across the LA metro.

Tax Strategy

Substantive tax planning for high earners with multi-state or multi-entity positions, built on the firm’s Big Four Mergers and Acquisitions Tax background.

Trademark

Federal trademark filings through the USPTO for LA-based brands, with the right-of-publicity coordination that matters for personality-driven and creator-led businesses.

M&A Under $25M

Deal structure, diligence, purchase agreements, and the tax overlay for operators preparing an LA-based business for sale or transition on transactions below $25M in deal value.

Prenuptial & Postnuptial

Substantive prenuptial and postnuptial agreements where the financial circumstances justify them, plus estate planning starter packages and property transfer.

The Los Angeles Base

Remote by default, in person where it helps.

The firm operates from Los Angeles with most engagements run remotely: intake by video, document exchange by secure portal, signing by electronic signature. For LA-metro clients, in-person meetings are available where the matter benefits from them.

The firm regularly engages with clients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Venice, Culver City, Pasadena, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Hollywood, downtown LA, and the broader LA metro.

What Sets the Firm Apart

Big Four M&A Tax depth, brought to the LA founder.

The firm’s principal trained in Mergers and Acquisitions Tax at Deloitte in Los Angeles and PwC in Silicon Valley, conducting tax due diligence on transactions valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars, then served as Chief Financial Officer of a Web3 technology company.

Most attorneys with this credential pedigree practice at institutional firms, in-house at large corporations, or in private equity. The firm exists to bring that depth of counsel to the founders, creators, family-owned enterprises, and high earners across LA who would otherwise have to choose between institutional-firm pricing and template-quality work.
