Ryenne S.
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.
"We had an excellent online consultation with our Chicago lawyer today. She is highly professional and very experienced — went straight to the point and addressed issues on the spot. She also helped us identify areas in our operating agreement that were too ambiguous and gave us clear guidance on how to fortify it for better clarity. We are very happy with her approach and expertise."

I am an experienced small business attorney.

I can help to navigate commercial and government contracts, as well as other SaaS-type agreements.

Substantial experience in drafting commercial agreements as well as litigation and arbitration of complex business disputes as plaintiff’s and defendant’s counsel. Served as infantry officer (attaining rank of Major) in ground combat units for the United States Marine Corps and educated in Marine Corps management and tactics. Adept at taking complicated information and legal principles and presenting strategy to non-lawyers in a concise and easy-to-understand format.
"Working with Frank is like going on a road trip with your best friend. You have more fun during the road trip than at your final destination. Frank told me a deadline and stayed with it, always being responsive to messages, with thick detail to reinforce his reasoning. When talking over the phone, Frank goes into great detail and paints the real picture of what to expect, in his experience, dealing with the court and judges. I would work with Frank again for future work."

Lawyer Reviews for Massachusetts Operating Agreement Projects
Limited-Scope Flat-Fee Review: NJ Holding Company Operating Agreement + PA Subsidiary Structure (Multi-Family Real Estate)
"Engaged Allen for a limited-scope flat-fee review of an LLC operating agreement and a subsidiary template. He stayed inside the scope we agreed, delivered on time, and found several real issues we had missed, including an internal conflict in the subsidiary document and a tax-distribution gap that would have created a problem years down the road. What I valued most was that he distinguished between actual drafting errors and questions that were ours to decide, and he declined to pick the answer on the ones that were ours. Straightforward, well-priced, and no scope creep. Would hire again."
Reply From Allen L.
Thank you -- that means a lot, especially catching the subsidiary conflict and the tax-distribution gap before they became real problems. Glad the scope stayed clean and useful throughout. Allen
