"Caroline was fantastic to work with! She was thorough, responsive, and took the time to understand my business and what I actually needed. She explained her recommendations clearly, caught California-specific requirements I wasn’t aware of, and was very helpful with all of my follow-up questions. I feel much more confident using the final agreement with my clients and would absolutely work with her again. Highly recommend!"

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."

Prenuptial Agreements I represent clients in the preparation and review of prenuptial agreements. My experience includes drafting comprehensive prenuptial agreements on behalf of the initiating fiancé, ensuring that the agreement accurately reflects the client's financial interests, assets, liabilities, and objectives while complying with applicable legal requirements. I also represent the non-drafting fiancé by conducting a thorough review of proposed prenuptial agreements, identifying legal and financial issues, explaining the rights and obligations created by the agreement, recommending revisions where appropriate, and negotiating modifications to help protect my client's interests before execution. Probate Administration Represented a client in the complete administration of a California probate estate valued at approximately $1 million. Successfully handled the matter from the initial petition through final distribution, preparing all required court filings, advising the executor throughout the administration, resolving probate requirements, and obtaining court approval to close the estate.

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.

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.

SaaS Agreement for beta use for anyone

We are a technology SaaS startup in the process of launching our product. We need an agreement that covers our beta period of a few months. We are allowing anyone to use it in this period to market the product. The usage is free of cost. Besides the standard SaaS terms, we want terms to cover for any issues with data loss/protection and anything that can possibly go wrong as we are still in beta and have a few things to fix before we go live in production. Please let me know how much this will cost and when we can have it available. We are a Southern California based company in infancy.

Answered Oct 29, 2021

This is a pretty standard document. The biggest concern is just making sure that the document reflects the reality of how customer data will be used. Usually a Privacy Policy is referenced in the terms, and is likely one of the most important documents for a CA startup.

Privacy Policy

California

Asked on Apr 15, 2023

What laws and regulations govern privacy policies?

I am the owner of an online business and have recently implemented a privacy policy for our customers. I want to ensure that our privacy policy is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. I am looking for an understanding of what those laws and regulations are, so that I can make sure we are following them correctly.

Russell M.

Answered Apr 28, 2023

There are myriad laws that govern privacy. In the U.S. there are the U.S. Privacy Act, HIPPA for health info, GLBA for financial, COPPA protecting children, and now more States are adding privacy laws. In 2023 alone, new consumer privacy laws will be effective in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia. Doing business internationally? The GDPR in the EU is recognized as something of a gold standard for individual privacy. The GDPR created ongoing obligations for maintains and updating privacy implementation. Companies located anywhere, not just the EU, must appoint a Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) if they have to carry out large scale, regular and systematic monitoring of people, for example online behavior tracking or large scale processing of sensitive (special category) data or data relating to crimes and criminal convictions.

Software Agreement

Asked on May 18, 2023

Software agreement and GDPR compliance?

I am the founder of a software company that is looking to enter into a software agreement with a new client. We are in the process of finalizing the agreement but I am concerned that it may not be compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). I want to make sure that the agreement is compliant with GDPR so that our company is not at risk of any legal action or penalties.

Nicholas M.

Answered Jun 6, 2023

You are smart to consider GDPR, but also should consider US Privacy Policies in connection with the agreement. There are several states the already have GDPR level of privacy policies and over 20 states with bills introduced as well. A well formed policy will consider the data collected, where it is stored and how it is transferred, who has access to the data, the purpose of the data for use in the app, the ability to sell or reuse the data for additional purposes, and when the data should be deleted. This process should be contemplated and consistent within employee manuals, data access procedures, and implemented in master services agreements across all vendors, subcontractors, and suppliers. One final note is that you need to practice what you write, because a published privacy policy that is not followed may be considered a deceptive trade practice by the FTC resulting in fines on top of the costs of a breach.

Website Terms of Service and Privacy Policy

Texas

Asked on Dec 2, 2024

Can a company change its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy without notifying its users?

I recently discovered that a popular online platform I use has made significant changes to its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which I was not notified about. These changes seem to give the company more access to my personal data and reduce my rights as a user. I'm concerned about the implications of these changes and whether the company is allowed to make such modifications without informing its users in advance.

Jennifer B.

Answered Jan 7, 2025

Online platforms can modify their terms of service and privacy policies without advance notice if: (1) Their terms explicitly allow such changes, and (2) Users continue using the platform after changes are made. However, modifications may still be challenged if they are unconscionable or violate privacy laws, particularly if they significantly impact user rights or data protection. While platforms may have the right to make unannounced changes, the enforceability depends on the specific modifications and their compliance with applicable regulations.

GDPR Compliance

Texas

Asked on Aug 11, 2025

Is my website required to comply with GDPR regulations?

I recently launched a small e-commerce website that sells products to customers in the European Union. While I am based in the United States, I have noticed that a significant portion of my customers are from EU countries. I have heard about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and its requirements for businesses handling personal data of EU citizens, but I'm not sure if my website needs to comply with these regulations. Can you clarify if my website falls under the scope of GDPR and what steps I need to take to ensure compliance?

Randy M.

Answered Sep 10, 2025

Yes. If you sell to people in the European Union, the GDPR applies to you. It doesn’t matter where your business is based. Under Article 3, the law extends beyond Europe to cover any company that offers products or services to EU residents or tracks their behavior online. So if you accept orders from the EU, you're legally required to follow GDPR rules. The GDPR lays out key principles in Article 5. In simple terms: • You must have a lawful basis before collecting personal data (lawfulness). • Data must be collected and used fairly and transparently (fairness and transparency). • Only gather the minimum data necessary and for clear, legitimate purposes (purpose limitation and data minimisation). • Keep personal data accurate and update or correct it when needed (accuracy). • Don’t keep data longer than required for the stated purpose (storage limitation). • Protect data with appropriate technical and organizational safeguards (integrity and confidentiality). • Be able to show regulators that you comply with all of these rules (accountability). You also need to be able to prove you're doing all this if a regulator asks. When Are You Allowed to Use Customer Data? For things like shipping an order or taking payment, you’re covered by what's called the “contract” basis under Article 6(1)(b). You need info like names, addresses, and payment details to complete a sale. That’s allowed. For email marketing, things are stricter. Consent is usually required. That means a clear opt-in, like an unchecked box the customer has to actively click. Some EU countries allow limited “soft opt-in” for existing customers, but the rules vary by country. If you’re unsure, it’s safest to get clear consent before emailing EU customers with promotions. What Rights Do Customers Have Over Their Data? Articles 15–21 give EU customers a lot of control. They can: • Ask what data you have on them • Correct wrong info • Ask you to delete their data (in certain cases) • Tell you to stop using it • Opt out of marketing • Ask you to send their data to another company You need systems in place to respond to these requests quickly and efficiently. What About Cookies? The EU’s top court (in the Planet49 case) made it clear: you can’t assume consent for tracking cookies. That means: • No pre-checked boxes • No vague “we use cookies” banners • You must let users actively choose which types of cookies to allow • You need to record and prove that consent was given Your cookie banner should be easy to use and offer equal choices for accepting or rejecting cookies. How to Keep Customer Data Secure You’re expected to take technical and organizational steps to protect people’s personal data. That includes things like: • Using SSL/TLS encryption • Restricting access to databases • Having solid contracts with vendors who handle customer data If there’s a data breach, Article 33 says you must tell the relevant EU authority within 72 hours if the breach could put someone’s rights at risk. If it’s a serious risk to individuals, Article 34 says you also need to inform the affected customers. What If You Use Outside Vendors? If you work with third parties such as payment processors, email services, or cloud providers, you’re responsible for what they do with customer data. The GDPR requires you to sign Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with them. These agreements must cover: • How they protect the data • Their legal obligations • How they’ll help you stay compliant You can’t skip this part. It’s not optional. Do You Need an EU Representative? If you regularly sell to EU customers, the answer is yes. Article 27 requires most non-EU businesses to appoint an official representative inside the EU. This rep acts as your point of contact for EU regulators and customers. You only get an exemption if: • You rarely process EU data • It’s low-risk • It doesn’t involve sensitive data But if you're actively targeting or shipping to EU customers, that exemption likely won’t apply. What Happens If You Don’t Comply? Regulators can fine you up to €20 million or 4% of your global annual revenue, whichever is higher. That said, small businesses aren’t usually hit with huge fines right away. Most EU regulators aim to help companies comply, especially if you’re clearly making an effort. But ignoring GDPR isn’t a good strategy. Being able to show you’ve taken real steps toward compliance is your best protection. Attorneys on Contracts Counsel are ready to help with GDPR compliance, including privacy policies, vendor contracts, and other legal obligations tailored to your business needs.
