Offering a lifeline to attorneys who need to get the job done but lack the time, staff, or subject matter knowledge
Contracting Drafting & Review
Whether bespoke or template, I draft each contract with an eye toward risk management, the client’s desired outcome, and the client’s risk tolerance. I am an unabashed contract geek and love to parse clauses until I get the best result for your client.
Typical client work includes much of the contracts in-house counsel encounter, such as:
- Employment Agreements
- Secondment / Leased Employee Agreements
- Independent Contractor Agreements
- Commercial Leases
- Intellectual Property Licenses
- Donation Agreements
- Grant Agreements
- Charitable Co-venture Agreements
- and much more
Nonprofit Law
Nonprofits are my sweet spot. For over 15 years, I have counseled numerous nonprofit organizations and their general counsel.
Typical client matters include:
- Nonprofit formation
- Tax exemption applications
- Tax exemption reinstatements
- Contacting
- Charitable Solicitation compliance
- Annual registration compliance
- Governance matters
- Bylaw drafting, tweaking, and board education
- Policy drafting
- Volunteer education
- Employee and independent contractor agreements
- Trademark and copyright matters
- and general research
My experience includes 501(c)(3) public charities and private foundations, 501(c)(4), 501(c)(6), and 509(a) supporting organizations.
Trademarks & Copyrights
Trademarks and copyrights can be an important source of revenue to nonprofit and for-profit entities. I am particularly enthusiastic about protecting the intellectual property of nonprofit organizations. Most ignore or underestimate the value and breadth of their intellectual property.
Some of commonly requested services include:
- Trademark Search and Evaluation
- Trademark Registration
- Trademark Renewal
- Copyright Registration
- Copyright Licensing
- Digital Millennium Copyright Act notices
- Cease-and-desist letters

Healthcare Law
Healthcare law makes my inner geek glow. Since 2005, I have counseled a variety of healthcare entities. I am very familiar with federal and Pennsylvania regulations pertinent to general hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, hospices, drug & alcohol facilities, and telemedicine providers.
Typical matters include:
