I worked in the Intellectual Property Group at Fidelity Investments for almost 25 years, including managing the group from 2017-2021. I managed and developed the same high-performing group of three legal professionals from 2007-2021. Early in my career at Fidelity, I focused primarily on trademark matters, including trademark searching and clearance, as well as enforcement of trademark rights. In fact, I created Fidelity's trademark and brand protection programs and advanced them over more than two decades, eventually bringing the domestic trademark portfolio in-house and realizing savings of well over $2 million in outside counsel expenses for searching, prosecution and maintenance of US registrations from 2008-2021. Fidelity put me through law school, and I continued working full time while attending law school at night over four years. Upon graduation and passing the bar in 2006, I was promoted to an attorney position effective 1/1/2007. My practice broadened, and I began working on more transactional matters. I became a key transactional attorney for major technology groups and businesses within Fidelity, and negotiated numerous mission critical tech deals, transforming Fidelity's business. I provided transactional and IP support for Fidelity's software development and services affiliate in Ireland, and worked extensively with many of Fidelity's other foreign affiliates. Fidelity's General Counsel handpicked me to provide transactional and IP support to a new business initiative in 2017. That initiative became fintech startup Akoya, LLC, a paradigm-shifting business that enables secure, customer-controlled sharing of personal financial information between financial institutions and service providers. I developed template agreements between Akoya and data providers (financial institutions) and also between Akoya and data recipients (e.g. tax preparation services and financial advisors). Akoya had matured enough to be spun out by Fidelity in early 2020 to a consortium of financial services companies. In 2021, Fidelity offered a voluntary buyout to long-tenured associates, and following the pandemic, coupled with the financial and health benefits included in the package, it was an offer I could not refuse. Days later, my elderly father-in-law broke his hip, and my wife and I became his primary caregivers. It's been a blessing that I was able to contribute to his care and alleviate some of the burden on my wife. He is now in a long-term care facility, and I am eager to return to work as in-house counsel, whether on a contract basis, part time or full time. I did work briefly as a sole practitioner in 2021 and 2022, primarily helping friends, family and pro bono clients with NDAs, business formation issues, consulting agreements and license agreements. From August 2022 - July 2023, I was on the staff of Flex by Fenwick, an in-house counsel on demand business that is a subsidiary of the IP firm Fenwick & West, but did not get any engagements. My wife and I have volunteered for over a year with a dog rescue, Last Hope K9 Rescue, and have fostered several dogs, and adopted two of them!

Stock Purchase Agreement

New York

Asked on May 21, 2023

Stock purchase agreement and post-closing obligations?

I am looking to purchase a business and I recently received a Stock Purchase Agreement from the seller. I am concerned about my post-closing obligations, such as continuing to fund the business or other contractual obligations, and would like to understand what these obligations are before I commit to the purchase. I would like to know what I should be aware of and what risks I may face if I accept the agreement.

Daniel R.

Answered May 23, 2023

I would focus on: What obligations do you have under the reps and warranties? Is there an escrow holdback? Is there any liabilities staying with you.

Articles of Incorporation

New York

Asked on Mar 30, 2021

Does an LLC need articles of incorporation?

I am considering forming an NY LLC and am doing a bit of research.

Ramsey T.

Answered Mar 30, 2021

LLCs are not technically "companies" or "corporations" and therefore they are not formed by filing Articles of Incorporation. Corporations are formed when you file Articles of Incorporation. LLS are formed by an "Organizer" who files a Form of Organization or Articles of Organization with a state. LLCs actually are "hybrids" with characteristic of companies in some ways and of partnerships in other ways.

Certificate of Good Standing

California

Asked on May 11, 2025

What is a Certificate of Good Standing?

I am a small business owner in the process of applying for a business loan and I have come across the term 'Certificate of Good Standing.' I am not sure what this certificate is, why it is necessary, and how I can obtain one for my business. Could you please explain what a Certificate of Good Standing is and its significance in the context of business operations and loan applications?

Robert P.

Answered Jun 24, 2025

A certificate of good standing is simply a due diligence item the lender will require showing your business entity is in "good standing" with the state in which the business was formed. "Good standing" means the business is operational and has paid its taxes (franchise taxes, etc) and is up to date on all annual fees, etc. To get the certificate, you can log on to your state of formation's secretary of state website (usually under the section entitled "business services") and you can purchase a certificate of good standing for a minimal fee.

Form 1120-S

California

Asked on Oct 13, 2024

Can a corporation elect to be treated as an S corporation after filing Form 1120-S?

I am the owner of a small corporation that has been filing taxes using Form 1120-S for several years, and I recently learned about the potential tax benefits of electing S corporation status. I am interested in exploring this option and would like to know if it is possible to retroactively elect S corporation status for previous tax years, or if it can only be done prospectively.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 25, 2024

Hello! Tha answer is yes. What you need to do is seek a late election using Form 2553. Your late S corp election must be filed within three years and 75 days after its proposed effective date. This means that you can do this retroactively. You can even start here with this video to figure out how - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA81sVVtgp8 Best of luck!

Stock Option Agreement

New York

Asked on Jan 20, 2022

ESOP - employee share option plan

Hello! My company provide me a fixed amount ($10,000) of equity within 4 years, with 25% vested after 12 months and said "The options will have a “strike price” which is based on the market value of the Company at the time your options are issued to you." What does it mean? Will i need to pay the different price every year?

Michelle F.

Answered Feb 1, 2022

Would really need to see the documents to properly answer this question. Is the value of the equity fixed at $10,000? Typically you get a number of shares that vest (become available to you) over x amount of time. The strike price is the amount you will pay to the company to exercise the option. (Disclaimer: This is not legal advice.)
