I'm a California-licensed attorney with 18+ years of experience helping everyone from Fortune 500 companies and venture-backed startups to individuals navigating real-life legal situations. I bring an high degree of emotional intelligence to every matter, and am also certified as both a coach and as a counselor. My career started at Fenwick & West, one of Silicon Valley's top law firms, where I worked alongside names like Google, Airbnb, Kleiner Perkins, and Sequoia Capital. From there I moved in - house at companies like Cloudflare, Autodesk, and Enphase - which gave me a practical, business-minded perspective that I bring to every client, no matter the size of the matter. Today I work with businesses and individuals alike. On the business side, that means commercial contracts, leases, startup corporate work, and serving as a fractional general counsel for companies that need a trusted legal partner without the overhead. On the personal side, I help individuals with employment matters, disputes, demand letters, contract review, and the kind of everyday legal situations where you just need someone knowledgeable in your corner. I'm direct, responsive, and I speak plain English — not legalese. Whether you're a founder closing your first deal or an individual facing a situation you've never navigated before, I'll give you the same level of attention and care.

"Adam was great to work with and generous with his time. He was very quick to respond via email and phone. He did a dual representation between buyer and seller for a stock purchase agreement which seemed like could be tricky to navigate but Adam knew exactly what to say and how to word things so both parties were extremely satisfied. I highly recommend working with him if looking for an attorney."

I'm the principal attorney at FarrowLaw PC, a California business and commercial law firm based in Long Beach. My practice covers transactional work, employment law, litigation, and day-to-day advisory matters for business clients — essentially, I help companies make clear-eyed decisions about risk, contracts, and strategy without the usual legal hedging. Before law, I trained in computer science and worked in-house at technology companies, which gives me a working fluency in how tech businesses actually operate.

Contracts Legal Questions and Answers

Contracts

Purchase Order

California

Asked on Oct 18, 2022

Contract versus PO?

I'm working with a client who refuses to sign our contract document while mentioning that the PO would suffice for that purpose. I already signed the contract and sent it back to the client that I'm working with, but they didn't sign it so far and refuse to sign it. But according to them, they will send PO. Is the PO legally binding to them to make the payment? Would the PO really suffice against the contract that I signed?

Christopher M.

Answered Nov 8, 2022

Annoying as this answer it, it really does depend. Some purchase orders (especially in the government contracting world) automatically become contracts once they are accepted and signed. If this is the other sides normal mode of operating it is not unheard of for them to be reluctant to accept a different contract in case it creates different or conflicting terms. At the end of the day there is nothing inherent in a PO that would mean it cannot serve as a binding contractual document, it just depends on the language in the PO.

General Tenancy Agreement

California

Asked on Dec 31, 2024

cost to sue tenant for back rent in a commercial property

Commercial tenant stopped making lease & CAM payments for months. The lease has 5+ years remaining on lease. The tenant is personally liable for the lease (no corporation / LLC). We wish to pursue suit, obtain a judgement and then collect the judgement.

Dolan W.

Answered Dec 31, 2024

Hello! My name is Dolan and I'm happy to answer questions for you. If a tenant has received proper notice to cure a defect in the rental agreement, or is a holdover tenant, the law requires a CA landlord to go to court for the eviction (called an unlawful detainer). The main steps in an eviction are: The landlord must give notice (e.g., a 3-day notice to pay rent, or a 30-day notice to vacate); If the defect is not “cured,” then the landlord must begin eviction proceedings by filling out form CM-010, form UD-100, form UD-101, and SUM 130 (the summons); After filing (and serving) the document, the court will wait at least 5 days to schedule a hearing. If the tenant files a court form to give their side of the story, the landlord can ask for a trial date. If the tenant does not, the landlord can ask for a default judgment; If there is a trial, a judge will hear both sides. After the judge decides, the judge issues an order the landlord can take to the sheriff to help effectuate the eviction.

Employee Separation Agreement

California

Asked on Jun 27, 2023

Pros & cons of employee separation agreements?

I am a small business owner and I am considering offering an Employee Separation Agreement to an employee who is leaving the company. I want to understand the pros and cons of this type of agreement so that I can make the best decision for my business.

Gagandeep K.

Answered Jun 30, 2023

There are several reasons for using an employee separation agreement - it can be used to protect confidential information and IP, obtain general liability waiver for certain legal claims (e.g., wrongful termination), offer an employee certain benefits and severance pay, and include additional provisions (e.g., non-disparagement clause so the employee cannot spread negative information about the company, return of company equipment, etc.). Just as an employer is not legally required to offer a severance agreement, an employee is not required by law to sign a severance agreement. However, an employee may be more likely to sign a reasonable, balanced severance agreement.

Settlement Agreement

California

Asked on Dec 17, 2023

Can we renegotiate a settlement agreement?

I recently entered into a settlement agreement with the other party in a dispute, but now I believe that the terms of the agreement are no longer fair and equitable. As such, I am looking to renegotiate the agreement. I have attempted to discuss this with the other party, but they have not been receptive to the idea. I am now seeking legal advice to determine if there is any way to renegotiate the agreement and what the best course of action would be.

Joseph M.

Answered Jan 26, 2024

If you enter into a binding contract you have to honour the terms unless there was fraud, mistake or misrepresentation as a basis to set aside or renegotiate.

Contractor Agreement

California

Asked on Apr 15, 2025

Can a contractor agreement be modified without written consent?

I recently entered into a contractor agreement with a company to provide my services for a specific project, but the company has now informed me that they want to make changes to the terms of the agreement, including the scope of work and payment terms, without obtaining my written consent. I am unsure if they have the legal right to modify the agreement without my agreement and would like to understand my rights in this situation.

Dawn K.

Answered Apr 26, 2025

Without seeing the terms in question, this is a general contracts answer: 1. Does the contract itself specify how it can be modified, changed or amended? If so, the contract itself should tell you whether this is okay. 2. If the contract doesn't state how, it can usually be modified, changed or amended, if you both have "mutual" agreement to change any terms, and in writing. 3. If they are trying to change it on their side only, and it is not permitted in the original agreement, this may not be allowed and depending on the terms to be changed, and to what extent, it may be some level of breach. Again, I do not have the contract, but I understand the terms to be changed include scope and payment, which may be enough of a change from the original agreement to potentially create a new one to substitute- with your consent. Hope this helps.
