I am a semi-retired arbitrator, mediator and legal writer with over 30 years of experience in the legal field. I am certified in contract law through Harvard Law School.
As an arbitrator and mediator, I preside over cases involving contract disputes in breach, compliance, interpretation, and performance. That experience has provided a keen understanding of how to draft contracts to convey the intent of the parties to the contract and to have the contract comply with the requirements of the jurisdiction in which it is governed.
As a legal writer, I have considerable experience in reviewing, evaluating, negotiating and drafting agreements/contracts to include, but not limited to: confidentiality, consulting, employment, intellectual property, independent contractor, joint venture, lease, master services, non-compete, non-disclosure, and partnership.
I am an author of two books and have represented illustrators on their projects. I have considerable knowledge in author / illustrator contract drafting.
If offered the job, I will ask a few questions and submit an initial draft for your review and discussion. Upon your review and any changes or modifications to the initial draft, I will present the final Agreement for your use.
I require an initial milestone (retainer) of $50 to engage my services, with the balance due upon completion of my services. I welcome the opportunity to discuss further and to put my expertise and experience to work for you.
