Chaz G.
As a former corporate attorney at one of the world's premier global law firms and former in-house counsel at Texas Instruments, a Fortune 500 technology leader, I bring big-firm expertise and corporate-level sophistication to entrepreneurs, startups, and small business owners who deserve the same quality legal support as the largest companies in the world. As a lawyer and startup founder with products currently being sold in national retail chains, I've spent my career at the intersection of complex business transactions, corporate law, and policy. I know how deals get done, where contracts go wrong, and how to protect businesses before problems arise. Now, I put that experience to work for founders and business owners who need practical, straightforward legal guidance without the intimidating price tag of a major law firm. Whether you're signing your first vendor contract, structuring a partnership, protecting your intellectual property, or navigating a business dispute, I translate the law into plain language so you can make confident decisions and focus on growing your business. What I bring to the table: - Complex commercial transactions experience at an AmLaw 100 firm - 7+ years as in-house counsel at a Fortune 500 company - Deep understanding of how businesses actually operate day-to-day - Flat-fee, transparent pricing with no billing surprises - Fast turnaround and direct communication If you're building something, I want to help you protect it.
"Chaz was extremely helpful, thorough, and professional. I hired him for a cease and desist letter involving an unauthorized use of my company’s business identity, EIN, and credit. He took the time to review the documents carefully, explain the legal issues in plain English, and help me understand the strengths and challenges of my situation. What stood out most was how organized he was. He prepared a legal analysis memo before our call, walked me through the authority issues, and adjusted his approach after reviewing additional company documents. He was patient, clear, and never made me feel rushed, even though the situation involved several complicated details. The final work product was strong, detailed, and tailored to my specific facts rather than feeling like a generic template. I would definitely recommend Chaz to anyone who needs a knowledgeable attorney who communicates clearly and takes the time to understand the full picture."

"Quick turnaround, had everything I needed and a bit more. Could've used a bit more communication in the beginning to know my circumstance to help draft things I may not be thinking of or missed but all in all it was a great contract for the price."

Independent Contractor Agreement
New York
What are the key provisions that should be included in an Independent Contractor Agreement?
I recently started working as an independent contractor for a company, and I have been asked to sign an Independent Contractor Agreement. I want to ensure that I am protected and that my rights and responsibilities are clearly outlined in the contract. I have heard that there are certain key provisions that should be included in such an agreement, but I am not sure what they are. I want to seek legal advice to understand what provisions should be included in the agreement to protect my interests and ensure a fair working relationship with the company.
Damien B.
Hello! My name is Damien Bosco. My law office is in Long Island City, across from Manhattan. Some key provisions of an independent contract agreement include the scope of work and the payment terms. An important provision discusses intellectual property rights. Define who owns any work product, intellectual property, or inventions created during the contract. Consider whether you want to retain rights to your pre-existing work or methodologies. There are other provisions also such as Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Clauses. You may want an attorney to review your full Agreement to suggest additions or edits. Feel free to reach out with any more questions!

Physician employment agreement practice management?

I am concerned about the practice management arrangements outlined in the agreement and would like to know more about what is customary in such agreements and what my rights and obligations would be. I am hoping to get some clarity on the practice management arrangements in the agreement so that I can make an informed decision.

Noncompete Agreement
New York
Noncompete agreement and industry restrictions?
I recently signed a Noncompete Agreement with my current employer. I am looking to explore other opportunities in my industry and want to know what restrictions my noncompete agreement might have on me. I am interested in understanding the limitations of the agreement and if there are any potential implications of taking a job in the same industry.
Danielle G.
In order to ascertain the limitations and implications, you would need to review the specific language of the agreement. If the non-compete is very broad, it's possible it would not be enforceable. In New York, for a non-compete agreement to be enforceable, it must be for a reasonable period of time and limited geographic scope. It also must protect the employer's legitimate interest. For example, the restrictions must protect confidential information or specialized skills you gained while on the job, or some other legitimate interest. If the agreement goes beyond those limitations, a court could find the non-complete to be unreasonable and unenforceable, in whole or in part. As to what restrictions your specific non-compete imposes (and the reasonableness of those restrictions), you would need to look at the specific language in the agreement. If you are unsure about the limitations, you should seek advice of counsel to help decipher the extent it would apply to your industry in general, and the likelihood it would be enforceable in court.
Employment
Nondisclosure Agreement
New York
Can you explain the enforceability of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) signed between two parties, specifically in the context of protecting trade secrets?
I recently started a new job at a technology company where I was required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect the company's trade secrets and confidential information. However, I have concerns about the enforceability of this agreement and the potential consequences if I were to accidentally disclose any information. I want to understand the legal implications and limitations of the NDA, including any loopholes or circumstances in which the agreement may not hold up in court.
Damien B.
Hello! My name is Damien Bosco. My law office is in Long Island City, across from Manhattan. Under the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) and New York law, trade secrets are protected if the company has taken reasonable steps to keep the information confidential. Information that is publicly available or widely known cannot be protected by an NDA. If the NDA is too broad in scope, fails to specify what constitutes confidential information, or restricts lawful activities, courts may void or modify it. Carefully review the NDA to identify what is considered confidential and the obligations imposed on you. Or have an attorney review it for you who can provide a consultation on accidental disclosure, negligent disclosure, and intentional disclosure of trade secrets.
