Legal shouldn't be one.
Indie venture & IP law practice
for the ones building,
creating,
and envisioning what's next.
Hola, I'm Alex.
I help founders navigate the peaks, troughs, and "wait, what just happened" moments with analytical chops, a hacker's mindset, and battle-tested startup and legal experience. I'm also low-key kind of an unlicensed therapist — because let's be real... entrepreneurs are more often than not a little stressed, a little unhinged, and a little busy.
Success isn't guaranteed, but the alternative is way less interesting. Let's build something worth the risk.
Legal counsel that actually
understands what you're doing.
Work with someone who gets it.
Counsel that grows
with you.
From the grind through the glory.
Here for the story (and not just the billable parts).
Pretty Reasonable Pricing
Fixed fees, hourly, hybrid—whatever makes sense for the deal. Priced for value, not volume. If you're comparing quotes, we're probably not the right fit.
Faster than Expected
Fast turnarounds—almost as fast as you build (weekends and holidays excluded). Your routine independent contractor agreement doesn't need 3 attorneys. One senior attorney, no bureaucracy, no handoffs.
Generally Responsive
Email, text, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, calls—whatever works. No 'please schedule through my assistant' nonsense. Direct access to counsel who actually responds.
Not a Luddite
Purpose-built and custom-tailored AI and tools for contracts, research, and workflow automation. Technology as a competitive advantage, not something to fear. Turns out legal tech works better when lawyers actually understand and use it.
Down for something
a little different?
The Work.
Legal support for every stage of your journey. From first pitch deck to final exit.
Venture Finance
SAFEs, convertible notes, priced rounds. The paperwork that turns ideas into actual money.
Business Structures
Corporate and organizational structures that scales without breaking. SPEs, holding companies, multi-jurisdictional and multi-generational frameworks.
Intellectual Property
Trademarks, copyrights, name, image and likeness deals, and trade secrets. The intangible assets that appreciate — eventually worth more than whatever you're actually selling.
Contracts & Deals
Contracts that set expectations in writing — potential disagreements, pre-settled. Because most of us can barely remember yesterday's lunch, let alone handshake deal terms from 9 months ago.
Real Estate
Handled by an attorney who also happens to be a licensed broker. Turns out understanding both sides is pretty useful. Residential, commercial, investments, and everything in between. Legal and deal in one fell swoop.
General Counsel
General counsel on a fractional basis. Weekly meetings, consistent attention, forward-looking strategy. Legal support that's present, proactive, and playing the long game — not just the fire drills.
