Think of Weinberg Legal as a one-stop shop for small business owners in need of legal counsel. In other words, our firm is what the legal field calls “outside general counsel.” Because the firm has a range of practice areas, we can support you in more ways than one.
Rather than find one lawyer for employment contracts, another for intellectual property disputes, and a third to help you figure out what to do when a client breaches their contract with you, you can turn to Weinberg Legal in all of those scenarios (and more).
As attorneys for small business owners, we know that you’re often seeking a lawyer at what feels like a pivotal moment for your business. We want you to feel supported throughout the process - and empowered by the fact that you have a committed legal team working to help you.

Launching your first business? Weinberg Legal can help you start your business on the right legal footing. From business structure to entity formation to ongoing legal best practices, we’ve got you covered. And if you’re already a seasoned business owner, you already know that as your business evolves, so will your legal needs. Whether you’re looking to grow, pivot, or sell your business, we can provide legal advice and support at each stage of your journey.
CONTRACTS
Your business is only as strong as the agreements you’re signing, which is why it’s so important to have your contracts either drafted or reviewed by an experienced attorney. (And because we work with so many businesses like yours, our internal contract forms are constantly evolving to address real-world issues as they arise.) We don’t just email you a Word document full of legalese…

Has someone stolen copy from your website or used your photos to promote their business without paying for a commercial license? Has a competitor opened up shop with a similar name in your area? We’re here to help you enforce your existing intellectual property rights as well as obtain registration for your copyrights and trademarks to protect your business in the future.

CLIENT
DISPUTES
It can be difficult to figure out the right move when a client relationship sours. Maybe a client is threatening to take you to court over the fact that you didn’t get a specific photo at their wedding. Maybe they filed a chargeback even though you fulfilled your obligations. Maybe things are fine for now, but you want a lawyer’s advice because you sense the water ahead may be choppy. We’re here to guide you.

As I continue to elevate in business it's important to not miss steps that could come back to bite me. And having a law firm that I trust means that I can continue to walk this journey with confidence.”
