Severance Plan Lawyers for Cambridge, Massachusetts

Before attending law school, I had a prior career in business performance reporting. This experience differentiates me from other attorneys. I can readily read, interpret, and synthesize financial reporting. I also have a passion for legal research and writing.

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 specialize in business law and contracts, with an emphasis on commercial transactions and negotiations, document drafting and review, employment, business formation, e-commerce, technology, healthcare, privacy, commercial real estate, data security and compliance. Specifically, I've drafted, reviewed and/or negotiated thousands of MSA's, NDA's, TOS', SAAS, sales, service, managed services, referral, reseller, royalty, finder’s fee, employment, contractor, consulting, advertising, marketing, manufacturing, distribution, management, artist, author, agency, photography, rental, lease, vendor, partnership, website, platform, application, privacy, non-compete, non-circumvent, confidentiality, IP ownership and licensing agreements so I'm very familiar with these types of documents. Practicing law since 2006, I worked in-house before starting my own solo practitioner law firm in 2011. I've worked with individuals and start-ups, Fortune 500 companies, and every type of entity in between, always providing quality legal work that fits the exact needs of the person and/or business. I’m a graduate of the Benjamin Cardozo Law School and also have an English degree from Penn.

I am an employment law attorney specializing in helping companies navigate the complexities of the workplace. From drafting employment contracts and conducting investigations into discrimination and harassment claims, to responding to EEOC charges and reviewing handbooks and policies for legal compliance, I offer comprehensive support to help businesses thrive while minimizing risk.

I help business owners, founders, employers, athletes, creators and families get contracts and legal documents done right the first time, at a flat fee agreed before any work starts. I am licensed in Florida (2021) and Washington, D.C. (2022). I practice as a business and contracts attorney and outside general counsel with Amethyst Law Group, and previously served as Florida Managing Attorney at Lento Law Group. Before that I sat on the business side of the table as General Manager and General Counsel of a professional basketball organization and as Deputy Commissioner of a start-up sports league, so I have negotiated, drafted and enforced the same agreements I now prepare and review for clients: sponsorship and vendor deals, player, coaching and staff contracts, employment and independent contractor agreements, licensing and brand deals. What I handle on ContractsCounsel: - Contract drafting, review and redlining: service agreements, MSAs, NDAs, vendor and supplier agreements, sponsorship, licensing, endorsement and brand deals - Business formation and governance: LLCs and corporations, operating agreements, bylaws, partnership and shareholder agreements, founder and equity arrangements - Employment and hiring: offer letters, employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, non-compete and confidentiality agreements, separation and severance agreements, handbooks and policies - Sports, entertainment and creator agreements: athlete representation, NIL, sponsorship, appearance, management and agency agreements (licensed FIBA agent) - Real estate: purchase and sale agreements, residential and commercial leases, contract review before you sign - Wills, trusts, powers of attorney and estate planning documents - Demand letters, cease and desist letters and pre-dispute contract enforcement - Ongoing outside general counsel support for small and growing businesses How I work: Every project starts with a fixed price and a delivery date you can plan around. You receive a plain-English summary of what the document does, what I changed and why, and any risks you should know about, not just a marked-up file. Two rounds of revisions are included so the final draft is exactly what you need, and I respond to messages the same business day.
