AI legal review

You asked AI. Now ask a lawyer. We check what AI drafted before you rely on it.

AI tools are good at producing documents that look right. They are not good at knowing your business, California law, or what is missing. Send us the terms of service, licensing agreement, trademark answer, or contract that AI gave you, and we will tell you what to fix.

What's included

Line-by-line review of AI-generated contracts, terms, and policies
Plain-English memo of risks, gaps, and errors
Redlined revision you can actually use
A short call to walk through the changes

Flat-fee options Pick any one, or combine what you need. Plan members pay less.

Creator & licensing agreements

The agreements that decide who owns the work and who gets paid for it.

Most IP disputes for businesses start with a missing or vague agreement. We draft and review the documents that keep ownership, credit, and payment clear.

What's included

Licensing agreements (licensing out or licensing in)
Independent contractor and IP assignment agreements
Collaboration, brand partnership, and influencer agreements
Website terms of use and content policies

Service

Trademark protection

Clear, file, and protect the name, logo, or slogan your customers know you by.

Your business name is probably your most valuable asset, and registering an LLC does not protect it. A federal trademark registration gives you nationwide rights, a public record of ownership, and leverage when someone copies you.

What's included

Clearance search and risk opinion before you invest in a name
USPTO trademark application, drafted to avoid common rejections
Responses to USPTO office actions
Cease-and-desist letters and responses when there is a conflict
Post-registration maintenance and use guidance

Service

Copyright protection

Copyright exists the moment you create something, but registration is what lets you sue for infringement and recover statutory damages. Just as important: making sure you actually own the work you paid freelancers, designers, and agencies to make.

What's included

Copyright registration for art, photos, writing, music, video, software, and courses
Ownership cleanup: assignments from contractors and collaborators
DMCA takedown notices and counter-notices
Guidance on AI-assisted work and what can be protected
Infringement assessment and demand letters
