Contracts

In any professional relationship, a well-drafted contract isn’t just protection—it’s a tool for clarity, trust, and long-term success. Whether you're an athlete negotiating a sponsorship deal, an artist licensing your work, or a brand hiring a content creator, contracts lay the groundwork for clear expectations and long-lasting relationships.

We work with artists, athletes, and brands–whether you’re just starting or scaling up–to structure agreements that protect your rights, reduce risk, and support your growth. With the right legal protections in place, you gain the freedom to focus on what matters most: creating, connecting, and moving your work forward with clarity and confidence.

Common contracts we help draft, review, and negotiate include:

  • Sponsorship and endorsement agreements

  • Licensing and intellectual property agreements

  • Independent contractor and collaboration agreements

  • Content creation and influencer agreements

  • Brand ambassador agreements

  • Non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements

  • Event participation and liability waivers

  • Partnership and joint venture agreements

Intellectual Property

Your work is more than just an asset—it’s a reflection of your voice, your values, and your creative identity. Whether it’s a logo, a product design, a piece of visual art, written content, or a brand you’ve built from the ground up, protecting your intellectual property ensures that your work stays yours.

We work with artists, athletes, and brands to secure, manage, and enforce their IP rights so they can share their work with the world on their own terms. From securing trademark registrations to drafting licensing agreements, we guide you through the legal side of creative ownership—clearly and strategically. Whether you’re carving out a niche or already making waves, we’re here to protect what you’ve built—and what you’re building next.

Our IP services include:

  • Trademark clearance, registration, and portfolio management

  • Copyright registration and protection strategies

  • Licensing and royalty agreements

  • IP enforcement and dispute resolution

  • Brand protection planning

  • Intellectual property audits and due diligence

Whether you’re carving out a niche or already making waves, we’re here to protect what you’ve built—and what you’re building next.

Entity Formation & Governance

Whether you're launching a personal brand, building a creative studio, or starting a new outdoor venture, choosing the right legal structure is an essential first step. A strong foundation gives you the clarity, flexibility, and protection to grow with confidence.

We work with athletes, artists, and founders to form business entities that support both your creative goals and long-term business plans. Not only do we file the paperwork, we also help you think through how your structure fits into the bigger picture, from taxes and liability to intellectual property and brand ownership.

Our business formation services include:

  • Entity selection (LLCs, corporations, partnerships, and more)

  • State and federal business registrations

  • Operating agreements and bylaws

  • Ongoing legal compliance support

  • Business structuring with IP and branding in mind

You bring the vision—we’ll help build the framework to support it.
