Areas of Practice
BRanding strategy
We help emerging companies develop unique and protectable trademarks. Understanding that brand protection involves much more than simply trademark registration, we work with our clients from the inception of the branding process to ensure their brands are being established as revenue-generating assets that increase in value over time and add to their bottom line.
BUSINESS FORMATION
Starting a new business can be both exhilarating and overwhelming – chalk full of crucial considerations for your future and your bottom line.
Whether you need advice on choosing the right business organization form, or would like assistance getting your new sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or limited liability company (LLC) up and running -- including the drafting and filing of all necessary formation documents with the State – Kai-Lewis Law can provide assistance with your new business venture.
At each step of the start-up process, we’ll work to ensure that your legal bases are covered, and that your new business has the best possible chance for success.
TRADEMARKS
In today’s digital age, tracing the ownership and origin of a design, brand name, or idea requires the laser-focused eye of a trained attorney. We routinely advise clients in trademark and copyright related matters. We help clients devise strategies to protect and maximize the value of their copyrighted works as well as provide advice on the legal issues involved in creating and distributing original content — tangible or not.
We’ll handle the search, application, and filing process for your Federal trademarks to ensure that your most valuable asset, your brand, is protected in the marketplace.
CONTRACTS
One of the most fundamental rules of law and unequivocally the most important rule of contract law is “get it in writing.” Many times entrepreneurs find themselves in business agreements that were negotiated informally – verbally or even with a handshake.
But in business, much like in life, things may go wrong despite our best efforts. Relationships can go downhill. Conditions and minds change. Deliverables are misrepresented. Contracts are the number one business tool you need to safeguard yourself, your employees and your clients from such instances.
When it comes to contracts, however, there is no one size fits all-- even for similar transactions. At Kai-Lewis Law, we help our clients create leverage in their day-to-day transactions by drafting legally sound contracts with the best interest of your business in mind.
The risk of costly litigation and other monetary losses associated with poorly drafted contracts substantially outweigh the price for securing a sound, binding contract from the beginning.
Don’t know where to start with your legal agreements? Don’t worry, because we’ve got you covered.
