Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best business entity for my new company?
The right entity depends on your business goals, tax considerations, and liability concerns. We help you choose and form the appropriate entity, whether it’s a corporation, LLC, or partnership, to align with your strategic objectives.
Why is trademark protection important for my brand?
Trademarks protect your brand’s name, logo, and identity, ensuring that no one else can legally use it. Registering your trademark gives you exclusive rights and helps prevent unauthorized use, ensuring your brand stays unique in the market.
Can I modify a contract myself, or do I need an attorney?
While you can technically modify a contract, it's crucial to have an attorney review any changes. Small modifications can lead to significant legal implications down the line. We ensure your contracts are well-drafted, protecting your interests and minimizing risks.
What are the key differences between a copyright and a trademark?
A copyright protects original works of authorship, such as music, books, and art, while a trademark protects brand identifiers like logos, names, and slogans. Both are crucial for safeguarding different aspects of your intellectual property, and we handle both to secure your rights.
