A Click Wrap Agreement is an online arrangement mandating users to consent to terms and conditions before using an application or website to ensure user safety. This agreement is offered to the user before they can access the service, and the user must click a checkbox or button indicating that they consent to the terms. Moreover, the agreement is usually shown in a pop-up window or a different link. It is usually accompanied by a message like "by clicking ‘agree,’ you mean you have read and understood the terms and conditions."
Click Wrap Agreements are typically considered lawfully binding, provided specific prerequisites are fulfilled. Also, for a Click Wrap Agreement to be considered enforceable, the terms and conditions must be reasonably noticeable, the user must have a chance to check the terms, and the user must take some affirmative steps to show their agreement.

Scott S.
I have over 25 years' experience representing individual and company clients, large and small, in transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, private offerings of securities, commercial loans and commercial endeavors (supply contracts, manufacturing agreements, joint ventures, intellectual property licenses, etc.). My particular specialty is in complex and novel drafting.
"Best attorney experience I've had. Scott S. knocked out my PPM, LPA, and subscription documents efficiently, responded fast, sweated every detail, and was completely fair on price. Exactly what you want and rarely find. Won't go anywhere else."
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.

Legal services cost too much, and are often of low quality.

I specialize in commercial and technology agreements, and general corporate and real estate matters. My passion for transactional and corporate work grew out of helping small and medium sized businesses with agreements of all types and real estate matters. Though I primarily represent large private and publicly traded Fortune 500 companies, I very much enjoy representing new and emerging businesses. From the private family office or new start-up to the rapidly growing and mature company, I have a proven track record of exceeding expectations in helping clients achieve their vision.

Clients appreciate that I don’t just “paper” deals—I help them understand what they’re signing and protect their long-term interests. I believe in clear communication, fair flat fees, and efficient turnarounds, especially when time is money. In addition to domestic clients, I work with a range of foreign individuals and companies doing business in the U.S., and regularly assist with cross-border transactions, regulatory issues, and contract negotiation.
