I am a corporate attorney with offices in Rock Hill, SC, and Lavonia, GA. My practice is focused on contracts, tax, and asset protection planning. I act as a fractional outside general counsel to over 20 businesses in 6 countries. When not practicing law, I can usually be found training my bird dogs.

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.

Hi, I'm Randy. I've been practicing law for over 30 years, with extensive experience drafting, reviewing, and revising contracts for individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses. I spent nearly 15 years running my own law practice in Richmond, Virginia, where I represented small business owners, professionals, entrepreneurs, and clients in the entertainment industry. That experience taught me that a good contract must do more than address legal requirements. It should clearly define the parties' rights and obligations, anticipate practical problems, and protect my client's interests if the relationship does not go as planned. Contract drafting and review are major parts of my practice. Over the course of my career, I've drafted and reviewed hundreds of agreements. I also review contracts prepared by other attorneys, businesses, and individuals to identify legal issues, assess enforceability, and identify potential compliance issues under current applicable law. My experience includes: • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements • Employment and independent contractor agreements • LLC operating agreements for single-member and multi-member LLCs • Consulting, coaching, freelancer, and professional services agreements • Residential and commercial leases • NDAs and confidentiality agreements • Entertainment industry agreements • Business formation and corporate documents • Other commercial and business contracts I also have substantial experience preparing estate planning documents, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance medical directives. I'm currently based in New York City and am licensed to practice law in Virginia. I work remotely with clients on contract projects across the country. My approach is practical and straightforward. I take the time to understand the transaction, the client's objectives, and the risks that need to be addressed. I then draft an agreement that is clear, thorough, and usable in the real world. Whether you need a new agreement drafted, an existing contract reviewed, or revisions to a document you are negotiating, I can help you identify the important issues and prepare a contract that reflects your objectives. I would be glad to discuss your project and how I can help.

With over eleven years of intellectual property experience, I’m happy to work on your contract problem. I am very diligent and enjoy meeting tight deadlines. Drafting memoranda, business transactional documents, termination notices, demand letters, licenses and letter agreements are all in my wheelhouse! Working in a variety of fields, from construction to pharmaceutical, I enjoy resolving any disputes that come across my desk. I will prioritize your project, big or small. Please be ready and prepared with all relevant documentation so we can get started as soon as you click HIRE! Hourly rate projects will be billed hourly in accordance with the timesheet. Flat rate projects will be billed in segments. Choosing an hourly or flat rate is up to you. Absolutely no refunds.
