Business
Your business is your passion and your livelihood. We are here to counsel you through your organization’s legal matters so that you can focus on doing what you do best. We counsel clients on a variety of business matters including routine filings, contracts, transactional matters, mediation and alternative dispute resolution, asset purchase agreements, licensing, non-disclosure and non-compete agreements, manufacturing agreements, and purchase and supply chain matters. Need guidance on entity selection and formation, operational strategy, business continuity, or succession planning? We can help with that too.
Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM)
Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM) practices have been around for years, but have only recently been distilled into a clearly articulated area of security management and operational strategies. New to ESRM? Many people are. As defined by ASIS, ESRM is “a strategic approach to security management that ties an organization’s security practice to its overall strategy using globally established and accepted risk management principles'‘. ESRM is holistic, comprehensive, and provides value. Looking to get started? We can guide you through an organizational inventory and how to get started implementing ESRM practices. If your organization has already implemented an ESRM program, we can explore ways to optimize and improve it. We can also advise on related practices including risk management, risk mitigation, preparedness planning, crisis response, and business continuity.
Asset Protection including Physical, Cyber, and Information Security
What are your assets? Tangible goods? Personnel? Processes? Information? Are they protected? Could you recover if these assets were compromised? Different types of assets require different types and layers of security, and one size does not fit all. We can help you to identify your assets, assess current security practices, identify deficiencies, and implement optimized security and compliance programs. We can also provide organizational training, an important element of organizational security and invaluable in preventing inadvertent and insider threats such as theft, workplace violence, and data breaches.
Emerging Technology, Startups, and Entrepreneur
You’ve got a great idea or a great product - or both! Now what? It can feel exciting yet daunting, even overwhelming, trying to figure out how best to move forward. Let us help. We can guide you through these initial phases including turning a well developed Business Plan into actionable steps, setting up a registered company, preparing essential organizational documents, providing guidance on how to protect your intellectual property, and how to proceed through funding rounds from seed or angel through Series A, B, and beyond.
Environmental and Sustainability
We face a new and rapidly evolving threat landscape as a result of the direct and indirect impacts of climate change. The World Economic Forum has consistently identified Environmental Risks as one of, if not the, greatest risk by likelihood and impact, with environmental risks occupying the top five out of ten critical threats over the next five to ten years. In addition to the direct impacts of environmental risks and climate change, indirect risks are a threat multiplier impacting individuals and organizations in unprecedented and unexpected ways. We can help identify how these risks impact you and your organization, how to implement preparedness and mitigation strategies, and how to integrate sustainability practices.
International and Immigration
International matters and cross-border regulations used to only impact those traveling internationally. Now, with an increase in globalization, international influence and laws impact all areas of our lives both as individuals and as organizations, even for those remaining domestic, Globalization has an impact not only on travel, but also on purchasing and supply chains, news, intellectual property, social media, fashion, entertainment, sports, cross-cultural engagement, and environmental changes. We can help you and your organization address and optimize these impacts and successfully prepare for cross-border transactions and cultural differences.
Often hand-in-hand with international matters is immigration. We have experience with both individual and business immigration matters and can assist in temporary and permanent resident and non-resident visas to the United States as well as assist United States citizens in acquiring necessary visas for international travel or employment.
Cannabis Law
Cannabis. Marijuana. Hemp. Weed. CBD. THC. CBG. CBN. Cannabinoids. Medical. Recreational. Legal. Illegal. Decriminalized. It is one of the fastest growing industries, but who can keep up? We can. In this rapidly changing, often murky area of the law we can provide answers for individuals as well as organizations exploring ways to enter the market or those hoping to just operate safely within its borders. Operating in this space already? We can help guide you through operational best practices and how to implement and maintain recommended security practices to provide protection for you, your organization, your employees, and your products.
Sports and Entertainment
The sports and entertainment industry can be exciting, glamorous, and fast-paced. It is also complex and evolving at an unprecedented pace. Changing NCAA player regulations, new and conflicting international player associations, emerging - and abandoned - social media platforms, and entirely new genres such as e-sports are just some of the major shake-ups the industry has been navigating over the past few years. We can help you navigate all aspects of the industry from the flashy, visible, front-row dealings to the more mundane behind-the-scenes negotiations, contracts, and paperwork.
