Los Angeles Business and Intellectual Property Attorney
Attorney Shaheen Sheik-Sadhal represents socially conscious entrepreneurs throughout
California and the U.S. in the following areas of business law:
General Business Advice and Planning – Start-up companies and entrepreneurs can
suddenly find themselves amidst an array of options and directions to take their company. As an
experienced attorney and entrepreneur, Shaheen Sheik-Sadhal can help you focus your business
model, keeping your ambitions in mind, and guide you along the way while maintaining the legal
integrity of your business.
Business Structure and Formation – One of the many questions facing a new business
is what type of business organization to form, C-Corporation, S-Corporation, LLC, partnership or
sole proprietorship. These involve understanding efficiency, limited liability, possible tax
consequences and partnership rights. Based on your short and long-term business goals, we
implement the best structure and draft the necessary organization agreements to fit your needs,
including by-laws and shareholder agreements.
Contract Negotiation and Drafting – Business law attorney Shaheen Sheik-Sadhal is
skilled in contract negotiation and drafting to make sure your intention is properly conveyed in
writing and you get what you want in the deal while simultaneously protecting you in the event of
any business conflicts down the road.
Intellectual Property Protection and Licensing Deals – Often, the most valuable
asset for an inventor, creator, or business is their intellectual property. The most profitable
strategy for such clients is to license their patents, copyrights and trademarks. We protect you
through the process by ensuring that licensing deals convey your desires and clearly outline the
rights and obligations of each party.
Shareholder and Partner Relations – When shareholders and partners join their talents
and skill sets to form a company, they must also create parameters to operate the business over
the long haul. This generally comes in the forms of operating agreements, by-laws, partnership
and shareholder agreements. We work with your team and develop comprehensive agreements
to form your legal foundation in line with your business vision.
Virtual In-House Counsel – Understandably, smaller businesses generally can’t dedicate
resources to hire a full-time in-house counsel. Still, legal issues arise regularly that are best
attended to by a qualified attorney. Shaheen Sheik-Sadhal can act as your virtual in-house
counsel, working for you part-time to navigate the legal waters of your business operations.
Out of Court Resolution of Commercial Disputes – When possible, cooperative
negotiation provides you the chance to work through commercial disputes while still respecting
the underlying business relationships you’ve worked so hard to build. Instead of taking a litigious
stance, Shaheen Sheik-Sadhal can help you mediate issues that arise during the course of your
business.
Business Development – Taking your business from a great idea to a profitable venture
involves great investments in time, money and strategy. As an entrepreneur with over a decade of
experience, Shaheen Sheik-Sadhal can assist you in marketing, strategic partnerships and when
appropriate, tap into her network of contacts and connect you with others who can usher you
along your journey.
