"Helpful, and informative. Was a pleasure discussing planβs forward in securing a patent."
About
I provide plain-spoken and hands-on drafting, advising, review and negotiation of business, commercial, licensing and IP transactions and matters - basically anything under the sun that companies I represent are likely to encounter. I work with entrepreneurs, small… read more business owners, senior executives and c-suite management, and have been in the trenches as a general counsel.
I actively manage and communicate time and cost. And so we can quickly start diving in, I take away any worries about budget busting, with my "satisfaction" never pay more than you think fair, period.

Client Reviews
"Gene performed a excellent job drafting terms for my company, great communication and fast delivery."
"We were confronted with a big book of onerous information security commitments at a very late stage in the sales process for b2b SaaS services. Gene made it a point to understand Google's real issues and to use that to substantially simplify and surgically revise a problematic barrier to something we could both live with, close the deal and move on to a partnership."
"Gene negotiated complex, global content rights with Korea's largest entertainment company while we were a small scrappy startup. He got us what we needed, on time, on budget, and maintained an excellent business relationship throughout some tough negotiations. I would definitely use Gene again for deals where I needed a confident advocate by my side."
