Creative Legal Counsel

Law, But Make It Creative.

Uncomplicating the legal landscape for innovators, agencies, and mavericks. I build ironclad protections so you can focus on breaking the rules (the right way).

The Verdict.

Don't take my word for it. Listen to the founders who sleep better at night.

"Arthur is the first lawyer I've worked with who actually understands how software is built and sold. He redrafted our entire SaaS agreement in a week, and it actually reads like human English."

Marcus Chen
CEO, FlowState Tech

"Before Arthur, our agency was losing 20% of revenue to scope creep because our contracts were weak. His new MSA template gave us the teeth we needed to push back. Worth every penny."

Sarah Jenkins
Creative Director, Studio Null

"When a massive competitor tried to rip off our branding, Arthur didn't just send a letter—he orchestrated a legal strategy that had them backing down in 48 hours. He is a weapon."

Founder, HypeWear Supply

Brass Tacks.

Common questions about working together.

Do you charge by the hour?
Rarely. I believe hourly billing penalizes efficiency. For 90% of my services (contracts, formations, audits), I charge transparent, upfront flat fees. You know exactly what it costs before we start.
Are you admitted to practice in my state?
I am licensed in New York and California. However, for federal matters (like US Trademarks) and general contract drafting, I work with clients nationwide. If local state litigation is required, I partner with local counsel.
How fast can you review an MSA?
Standard turnaround for a contract review is 48-72 hours. Need it yesterday? I offer an expedited 24-hour turnaround for a premium fee because I know deals move fast.
Do you work with Web3/Crypto startups?
Yes. I have extensive experience navigating the gray areas of digital asset regulation, DAO structuring, and tokenomics disclaimers. Bring me your wildest whitepaper.
