Adam J.
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.
"I needed legal advice regarding ownership of solar panels after a bankruptcy and every attorney I spoke with stated they could not help me. Adam was the only one to step up and be an advocate for my family. He was extremely prompt with his communication and transparent with his fees. I never once felt like I was being ignored or having my concerns brushed aside. Adam listened and addressed every single one of my concerns in a professional manner. His knowledge with how solar companies work gave me the confidence to know I was going to achieve what I was looking for. I highly recommend Adam, I am so glad I hired him to represent me when nobody else would."

Carver F.
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. A significant portion of my practice involves representing tech and startup clients, where that background lets me engage with technical realities rather than abstract them away. If you're working with a client who needs a practical California business lawyer — particularly one who speaks the language of tech — I'd welcome the introduction.

Hunter M.
Before law school I built the contract management system for a publicly traded medical device company — so I read your agreement the way the people who have to live with it will, not just the way a court would. I draft and review business contracts on a fixed fee, with the delivery date agreed before I start. You get the redlined document plus a short written summary of what I changed, why it matters, and what I'd push back on if the other side objects. Revisions are included — I'd rather get the document right than count rounds. NDAs, MSAs and SOWs, contractor and employment agreements, SaaS terms, terms of service and privacy policies, operating agreements, vendor and construction contracts, and full contract review with a plain-English risk summary. Send me the document and what you're trying to accomplish with it, and I'll come back with a fixed fee and a date.

Corporate Bylaws
California
Can a corporation amend its bylaws without a shareholder vote?
I am a shareholder in a small corporation and recently, the board of directors proposed several amendments to the company's bylaws, including changes to the voting rights and director appointment process. However, there was no mention of a shareholder vote in the proposed amendments, and I am concerned that the board may be trying to bypass our input and make unilateral decisions. I would like to know if it is legally permissible for a corporation to amend its bylaws without a shareholder vote and what my rights as a shareholder are in this situation.
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and I am sorry to hear about this situation. So this depends on a few things: 1. The bylaws generally are what govern. If the bylaws authorize this, then it's legal for the corporation's board members to do so. 2. This also depends on the type of shareholders. "Class A" shareholders typically are able to make decisions to amend the bylaws without lower (Class B or lower) shareholders having a say. For instance, Meta can change its bylaws without the consent of common shareholders. 3. Nevertheless, as a shareholder, you have the right to inspect the corporation's governing documents, financial records, and meeting minutes to understand the board's authority and intentions. You can request access to these documents under state law. 4. If the board is acting outside its authority or attempting to make changes that require shareholder approval, you may be able to challenge the amendments. This could involve raising objections at a shareholder meeting, contacting other shareholders to address the issue collectively, or pursuing legal action if necessary. We're happy to help any way we can!

Offer Letter
California
Can an employer revoke an offer letter after it has been accepted?
I recently received an offer letter for a job position that I had been interviewing for, and I accepted the offer in writing. However, a week later, the employer contacted me to inform me that they are revoking the offer due to unforeseen circumstances. I had already given notice to my current employer and made arrangements to start the new job. I am now left without a job and wondering if the employer has the right to revoke the offer letter after it has been accepted.
Phillip Z.
Yes, employers can usually revoke an offer letter even after it's been accepted, but there are some important things to consider: At-will employment: In most states, employers can terminate employment anytime, even before the job starts. Legal risks: Rescinding offers can lead to legal issues, especially if the candidate has already taken action to their detriment based on the offer. Contracts: If the offer letter is a binding contract, revocation could be considered a breach of contract and result in damages to the employee.

Coaching Agreement
California
Can a coaching agreement be terminated early if the coach fails to deliver the promised services?
I entered into a coaching agreement with a coach who promised to provide me with specific coaching services, but after a few sessions, it became clear that the coach was not delivering on those promises. I am now considering terminating the agreement early, but I am not sure if I have the legal right to do so or if I would be entitled to any refunds or compensation for the services not rendered.
Dolan W.
Hello! I'm so sorry for this situation. Generally, the answer to your question is yes. Why? A breach of contract simply means that one party was obligated to perform and they have either not performed or have said that they will not perform. (Restatement (Second) of Contracts.) This applies regardless of whether the agreement was written or done orally. Typically, the aggrieved party is entitled to be returned to the same position they were in before the breach. In other words, if you aren't getting the coaching for which you paid, you can pursue one of those remedies. We are more than happy to review the contract for you to verify. Best of luck! Dolan

LLC
California
LLC or S-Corp?
I am starting a public speaking consulting business with one other person. Most of our work will be done virtually and do not need an office space and will not have a physical product. We do not have investors. We have received conflicting advice about whether to form a llc or an s-corp. The s-corp has been suggested by some as the best for tax purposes, but others have warned that it is much more expensive to start and harder to maintain. What would be best for our situation?
Briana C.
For a small service business with no outside investors, the LLC form probably offers you more advantages than the corporation. (For example, LLCs offer greater flexibility, fewer corporate formalities, and pass-through taxation which is especially beneficial in the early stages of an LLC if you have other income sources.) The S-Corp election does not affect your choice of entity (LLC or corporation). Either kind of entity can make the S-Corp election, which just tells the IRS how you should be taxed. You can form an LLC at the beginning and make the S-Corp election for that LLC in the future, if and when it makes sense (you will still be an LLC then, but an S-Corp for tax purposes only). The S-Corp election only makes sense to do once your net profits reach a certain level. The purpose of the S-Corp election is to reduce your taxes. Filing the S-Corp election is not itself very expensive, but you will need to incur the costs of running payroll. (LLCs don't have to run payroll.)

Liquor License
California
Can a restaurant owner transfer their liquor license to a new location?
I am a restaurant owner and I am considering relocating my business to a new location within the same city. I currently have a liquor license for my existing establishment and I would like to know if it is possible to transfer this license to my new location, or if I would need to go through the application process again. I have invested a significant amount of time and money in obtaining the current license and I want to ensure that I can continue serving alcohol at my new establishment without any legal issues or delays.
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and I'm happy to help. As a restaurant owner in California planning to move within the same city, you can transfer your existing liquor license to the new spot through a "premises-to-premises" transfer. This involves applying to the California Department of ABC for approval. The ABC will check both your qualifications and whether the new location fits their standards. Keep in mind, that applying doesn't guarantee approval; the ABC might deny the transfer if the new place doesn't meet their criteria. To get started, you'll need to submit specific forms and fees to your local ABC district office. The process usually includes posting a public notice at the new location for 30 calendar days and possibly informing nearby residents, depending on local rules. Typically, the whole process takes about 55 to 65 days, but it can be longer if there are protests or other issues. Remember, during the transfer process, you must follow all ABC regulations, including paying any necessary renewal fees to keep your license active. If your current place is closed for 15 consecutive days, you're required to surrender your license to the ABC within that time. However, during the surrender period, which can last up to a year, you can transfer the license to another location or person, as long as all renewal fees are paid. I hope this helps! Thanks again! Dolan .
