Your Business Needs a Lawyer Who Knows It
Most growing companies aren't ready to hire a General Counsel — but they've outgrown the patchwork approach of calling a lawyer only when something goes wrong. That gap between where you are and where you're going is exactly where NRW Legal operates. I serve as Outside General Counsel to emerging growth companies, sports agencies, creative studios, startups, and established businesses that need senior-level legal strategy without the overhead of a full-time hire.
What Outside General Counsel Actually Means
It is an ongoing relationship, not a retainer for occasional work. I learn your business model, get to know your stakeholders and take part in the decisions that shape where the company goes.
Arts, entertainment & sports — talent agreements, IP licensing, content distribution, NIL deals, and production contracts.
Digital creators & influencers — sponsored content agreements drafted for FTC compliance; platform terms negotiation; creator fund and exclusivity arrangements; merchandise, co-brand and collaboration agreements, and product licensing deals; and the entity formation, trademark registration, and IP assignment infrastructure that converts audience into durable commercial value.
Contracts & commercial agreements — Vendor and customer agreements, licensing, NDAs and partnership structures.
Transactions — M&A, asset purchases, joint ventures and strategic investments.
Corporate governance — board structure, operating agreements, equity planning, and entity management.
Capital markets & securities — private placements, Regulation D and Regulation A+ offerings, investor relations, and SEC compliance.
Regulatory compliance — industry-specific regulatory navigation, internal policies, risk assessment, and government reporting.
The NRW Difference
I bring experience across corporate law, securities regulation and transactional work, and I never pass your matters to associates or paralegals. You get senior judgment and the continuity of a single advisor at a fraction of the cost of an in-house legal department.
Who I Work With
I work with artists, emerging growth companies, privately held businesses, founders and executives in technology, entertainment, sports, real estate and professional services.
