Personal Details

Bio

I enjoy working with people to help them start or grow their businesses--legally, while managing risks. I focus on actionable strategies that my audience will leave feeling empowered to implement.

I help entrepreneurs with (1) personal branding, (2) business branding & trademarks, and (3) establishing a strong legal footing via proper business practices. I also help businesses manage risks, and protect intellectual property (IP).

I teach startup law topics at Berkeley Law (including trademarks, copyrights, social media marketing, and advertising law.

On behalf of Berkeley Law, I host legal workshops, speak at panels, and meet with business holders to help them with various legal and business topics relevant to entrepreneurs.

I have 10+ years of experience simplifying complex legal topics to present them in a way that is understandable without being condescending.

I am most excited by advertising law, fashion law, business branding, product branding, brand protection, trademarks, copyrights, IP licensing, negotiating contracts, marketing, tech, and e-commerce.

I enjoy public speaking and participating in panels and events that promote entrepreneurship because I like fostering financial freedom. I have spoken to audiences including 500+ participants and feel comfortable speaking to larger audiences.

I’m an experienced bilingual speaker (English and Spanish) on topics including personal branding, business branding, trademark law, entity selection, social media law, DMCA takedowns, privacy law, unfair competition, and digital influencers.

Specialties: Brand & IP protection, branding, contract negotiation, IP enforcement, commercial transactions, contract drafting, advertising law, marketing law, FTC rules, corporate law, regulatory compliance, consumer protection, copyediting, content creation, and turning legalese into legal ease for laypersons.
