"Dan was excellent to work with on my trademark application. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and took the time to make sure the filing strategy and description were structured correctly for my business. I especially appreciated how easy he was to communicate with and how clearly he explained the process and my options along the way. He was thorough without overcomplicating things, and I always felt like the application was being handled carefully. I would definitely recommend Dan to anyone looking for help with a trademark filing and would be happy to work with him again in the future."

Chicago, Illinois

Licensed in IL
DePaul University College of Law

My name is Ryenne Shaw and I help business owners build businesses that operate as assets instead of liabilities, increase in value over time and build wealth. My areas of expertise include corporate formation and business structure, contract law, employment/labor law, business risk and compliance and intellectual property. I also serve as outside general counsel to several businesses across various industries nationally. I spent most of my early legal career assisting C.E.O.s, General Counsel, and in-house legal counsel of both large and smaller corporations in minimizing liability, protecting business assets and maximizing profits. While working with many of these entities, I realized that smaller entities are often underserved. I saw that smaller business owners weren’t receiving the same level of legal support larger corporations relied upon to grow and sustain. I knew this was a major contributor to the ceiling that most small businesses hit before they’ve even scratched the surface of their potential. And I knew at that moment that all of this lack of knowledge and support was creating a huge wealth gap. After over ten years of legal experience, I started my law firm to provide the legal support small to mid-sized business owners and entrepreneurs need to grow and protect their brands, businesses, and assets. I have a passion for helping small to mid-sized businesses and startups grow into wealth-building assets by leveraging the same legal strategies large corporations have used for years to create real wealth. I enjoy connecting with my clients, learning about their visions and identifying ways to protect and maximize the reach, value and impact of their businesses. I am a strong legal writer with extensive litigation experience, including both federal and state (and administratively), which brings another element to every contract I prepare and the overall counsel and value I provide. Some of my recent projects include: - Negotiating & Drafting Commercial Lease Agreements - Drafting Trademark Licensing Agreements - Drafting Ambassador and Influencer Agreements - Drafting Collaboration Agreements - Drafting Service Agreements for service-providers, coaches and consultants - Drafting Master Service Agreements and SOWs - Drafting Terms of Service and Privacy Policies - Preparing policies and procedures for businesses in highly regulated industries - Drafting Employee Handbooks, Standard Operations and Procedures (SOPs) manuals, employment agreements - Creating Employer-employee infrastructure to ensure business compliance with employment and labor laws - Drafting Independent Contractor Agreements and Non-Disclosure/Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation Agreements - Conducting Federal Trademark Searches and filing trademark applications - Preparing Trademark Opinion Letters after conducting appropriate legal research - Drafting Letters of Opinion for Small Business Loans - Drafting and Responding to Cease and Desist Letters I service clients throughout the United States across a broad range of industries.

Cloud Services Agreement

Illinois

Asked on Feb 17, 2022

Is a SaaS agreement a license?

I have a SaaS business and am wondering if this can be used as a software license as well. We have a terms of service and privacy policy for our website, but we don't have a standalone SaaS agreement we use with customers. I think we need some sort of software license for enterprise customers, but I'm not sure. Is a SaaS agreement the same as a software license? Can a company like me just operate under Terms of Service?

Octavia P.

Answered Mar 4, 2022

This is a great question as many business SaaS providers are confused about SaaS agreements and if they are the same as a software license. There is indeed a difference between a SaaS agreement and a software license. The main difference is that a software license provides a customer the right to tangible products or services that are delivered in some format. In contrast a SaaS does not deliver products or services since the software and platform remain with the provider. As a result, a SaaS promises the customer access and use of the provider’s cloud services remotely via the internet or private network. When SaaS is being provided to enterprises or B2B clients, for their internal business purposes, providers will often use a master SaaS agreement that can be negotiated and signed.

SaaS Agreement

Connecticut

Asked on Jul 1, 2023

SaaS agreement and customizations?

I recently started a software as a service (SaaS) business and I am looking for legal advice related to SaaS agreements and customizations. I need to understand what is legally required in order to customize my SaaS offering for my customers and ensure that I am in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. I am also looking for advice on how to structure my SaaS agreement to ensure that my customers are adequately protected.

Thomas L.

Answered Aug 4, 2023

SaaS agreements are not specifically regulated by law. Thus the principal issue is financial responsibility for outages, loss of data, and failure to meet transaction rate requirements.

Privacy Policy

New York

Asked on Apr 21, 2021

Does my Privacy Policy need to address the CCPA?

I have a website and we have customers from across the US.

Ema T.

Answered Apr 21, 2021

If you are planning to operate in California, USA it is recomended to address the CCPA. California is the first state in the US to enact a state statute addressing the privacy rights of the state residents (but it is estimated that other states will follow). The CCPA provides specific rights for users located in CA, those include the right to know what personal data is being collected, whether this data is disclosed or sold to any 3rd party, (and to disagree to the sale), the right to access their personal data, request a deletion of their information, and more. These rights should be addressed in your privacy policy and contain additional sections and information laid out for CA residents. Any information provided as an answer to these questions does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship between the attorney and anyone in relation to any information provided under the Q & A section of this website.

Startup Stock Option

California

Asked on Mar 13, 2025

Can a startup agreement be modified after it has been signed?

I recently started a tech company with a partner and we signed a startup agreement that outlined each of our roles, ownership percentages, and profit distribution. However, as our business has grown and evolved, we have realized that some aspects of the agreement need to be modified to better reflect our current needs and goals. We are wondering if it is possible to make changes to the startup agreement after it has already been signed, and if so, what would be the process and potential implications of doing so?

Dawn K.

Answered Apr 15, 2025

Congratulations on your business growth and evolution! I'll answer the question without having seen the actual agreement, so this is just based on broad contract principles. Yes, you can change an agreement after it is signed, and there are a few ways to do so. If it is just a few terms, you may be able to do a written "modification" that becomes the new terms of the agreement and the rest stays. There is also, again depending on how much you want changed, a process of "novation" where we substitute a new contract for the previous one. It has specific language in it, but it is also available. These are the two primary ways to change the agreement where there are no disputes and all parties agree to the changed or new terms. Congratulations again!
