18 Yrs Experience
Licensed in CA
University of Pennsylvania

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."

Legal services cost too much, and are often of low quality. I have devoted my law practice to providing the best work at the most affordable price—in everything from defending small businesses against patent trolls to advising multinational corporations on regulatory compliance to steering couples through a divorce.

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.
