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. 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 hired Adam to assist with a property damage claim arising from a multi-car accident after months of delays, inspections, repair estimates, and back-and-forth communications with the insurance company had failed to produce any meaningful progress. Adam quickly got up to speed on a fairly complicated situation involving multiple claimants, potential policy-limit concerns, conflicting positions from adjusters, and repair estimates from Tesla-affiliated repair facilities. He drafted an exceptionally strong demand letter that clearly laid out the facts, documented the damages, and forced the insurance company to seriously evaluate the claim. What impressed me most was that Adam didn't simply send a demand letter and move on. He remained actively engaged throughout the process—reviewing responses, discussing strategy, speaking directly with the adjusters, and continually pushing the matter forward when it appeared the claim had stalled. He knew when to apply pressure, when to be patient, and how to keep negotiations productive. In the end, he achieved a result that exceeded my expectations. Given where the claim stood before his involvement, I am confident the outcome would have been significantly worse without his assistance. Adam is thoughtful, responsive, strategic, and an excellent communicator. If you need an attorney who can effectively negotiate with insurance companies, cut through delays, and advocate for a fair resolution, I would not hesitate to recommend him. Thank you, Adam."

Gene R.
I help founders and business owners set up core contracts, deal documents, and ownership terms so they can form companies, close business sales, bring in partners, and launch products without expensive surprises later. I focus on LLC and corporation formations and operating/shareholder agreements, business sales, founder and partner arrangements (including buyouts and separations), commercial contracts (NDAs, MSAs, privacy policies), and IP/SaaS ownership and licensing tied to those deals. Clients describe me as “the antidote to Big Law inefficiency,” “a legal sniper,” and say I’ve “potentially saved hundreds of thousands” by catching gaps other lawyers missed. I do all my own work, explain options in plain English, and give clear scope and hour ranges before I start.

My name is Nick Gleason, and I’m an attorney licensed in California and a veteran of the United States Navy. While in law school, during my clerkship with Mob Entertainment, I worked under the General Counsel, drafting cease and desist letters, demand letters, and assignment and licensing agreements.

Now in my professional practice, I continue to help clients like you protect your interests by offering affordable legal representation for all your contract and copyright needs. I can draft contracts, review proposed agreements for vulnerabilities, and negotiate terms on your behalf, as well as prepare effective cease and desist letters and demand letters tailored to your situation, including in copyright and DMCA-related matters. I will always be fair and transparent with my fees. I’d love to hear from you.

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.

He has since completed a ground-up flex-industrial project in Sparks, Nevada.

His experience as both counsel and client helps him distinguish between theoretical concerns and risks that matter in practice. Ryan lives in San Diego with his wife, young son, dog, and cat.

Employment Agreement
California
Are non-competes enforceable in California?
I live in CA and work for an east coast company. I have an old employment agreement from ~2006 that has a non-compete clause. Is that enforceable in CA?
Paul S.
No, it's not. California has a very strict law against non-competes, and views those as illegal restraints on trade. Pretty much the only scenario in which a non-compete will be enforceable in California is in connection with the sale of a business.

Independent Contractor Agreement
California
How to make a contract to keep IC status ? We are getting audited by SF. Thank you!!
I just changed to independent contractor last year after all my dental friends advised me to do so. Now the office I work at is being audited so I’m wondering what I need to do in order to keep the IC? Thank you !
Gregory B.
In general, contract terms can make someone an employee, but cannot ensure independent contractor status. Essentially, the contract can set out IC terms, but if those terms are not followed in practice, the contract itself can't fix that. Under California AB, there is an exemption for dentists from the strict "ABC" test, but dentists will still need to meet a number of other requirements that are often, in practice, difficult to meet. For example, they would have to be "open to the public" and actually performing the same of similar services for others - so working for a single dental office typically will not pass the test!

Asset Purchase Agreement
California
How are employee benefits managed in an asset purchase agreement?
I am a business owner who is looking to purchase a company. This company has many employees, and I want to make sure I am making a well-informed decision about how employee benefits will be managed in the asset purchase agreement. I am looking for advice on the best way to protect both the interests of my business and the interests of the employees in this agreement.
Sarah S.
In an asset purchase agreement (APA), careful consideration is given to managing employee benefits. The agreement outlines whether the buyer assumes responsibility for continuing specific benefits post-closing, addresses accrued employee benefits, and establishes a clear process for notifying employees of changes. Legal compliance with employment laws, due diligence on existing benefit plans, and provisions for the transfer of benefits are crucial. The APA also covers communication strategies, severance agreements, and adjustments to employee handbooks, ensuring a comprehensive approach to employee benefit management during the transition.

Employee or "independent contractor"
Hello, I'm starting a janitorial company. and I'm trying to keep my cost down. as of right now i will be doing all the "cleanings" if i get to over whelm i might need help for one or two gigs which would be 8 hrs or 16 hrs every two weeks if that. so i wanted to see if in California if im able to get help and have them come in as a independent contractor?
Alen A.
Hi there, In California, workers are presumed to be employees UNLESS a company can prove ALL THREE of the following: 1) Control: Worker is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of the work and in fact; 2) SCOPE: The worker perform work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity's business; and 3) TRADE: The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation or business of the same nature as that involved in the work performed. AB5 does list occupations that are exempt from the test above but your occupation isn't one of them. I would need more information to give you legal advice but based on your question, you will not likely be able to have them as independent contractors.

What's intellectual property in an employment contract?
I recently accepted a job offer that contained an employment contract. The contract states that I will not use any intellectual property of the company without prior written consent. I am unsure what exactly constitutes as intellectual property and would like to get a better understanding of the definition of intellectual property in the context of an employment contract.
Russell M.
Your Agreement may contain a definition like this: “Intellectual Property” means recognized protectable rights and interests such as: patents (whether or not issued), copyrights, trademarks, service marks, applications for any of the foregoing, inventions, Confidential Information, trade secrets, trade dress, domain names, logos, insignia, color combinations, slogans, moral rights, right of publicity, author’s rights, contract and licensing rights, works, mask works, industrial design rights, rights of priority, know how, design flows, methodologies, devices business processes, developments, innovations. But a few of these are going to be most likely available to you. Internal company know-how or “ how we do things here that help us succeed”. Note the words “Confidential Information”. Confidential Information is another defined term which includes customer and employee information, pricing and business strategy and plans, among others.
