I am a visual artist and licensed attorney with over a decade of experience advising clients. My dual practice is rooted in the belief that legal services should empower—not intimidate—artists and arts organizations.
Whether you’re negotiating a gallery contract, protecting your intellectual property, forming a nonprofit, or navigating the complexities of digital art, I bring both legal rigor and artistic sensibility to the table.
General Counsel services
Ongoing legal guidance for arts organizations, collectives, and creative businesses. I offer outside general counsel services on a subscription or project basis, covering matters such as governance, employment, contract management, regulatory compliance, and strategic planning. Think of it as in-house counsel — without the overhead.
contract negotiation and Dispute Resolution
From commissions and collaborations to consignment and residency agreements, I ensure your contracts reflect the value of your work and the practical realities of your practice.
I also provide support when things don’t go as planned — whether you’re facing a contract dispute, an unpaid invoice, or a breakdown in collaboration. I offer strategic guidance and resolution pathways that prioritize both your rights and your reputation.
intellectual property
Copyright registration, trademark strategy, and protection of moral rights. Whether analog or digital, your work deserves recognition and control.
Formation, Governance & Organizational Strategy
Whether you're starting a nonprofit, launching a creative business, or formalizing a collective, I provide legal guidance to help you build structures that support your mission—and withstand the real-world demands of running an arts-based venture.
From choosing the right entity to developing governance tools that reflect your values and operations, I help you lay a solid legal foundation.
Gallery, Exhibition, Publishing & Representation
Your work deserves to be seen — on your terms. I provide legal support across the lifecycle of artistic presentation, from gallery walls to printed pages.
Whether you're exhibiting in a museum, consigning work to a gallery, licensing content for a publication, or navigating a publishing contract, I help you protect your rights while ensuring your agreements are clear, fair, and aligned with your vision.
art and technology
Counsel on emerging and hybrid forms—ranging from NFTs and AI-generated works to interactive experiences and online distribution. I advise on legal frameworks that address rights, royalties, authorship, and platform use, helping you protect and navigate your evolving digital footprint.
