Your Ideas Could Be Taken
You’ve poured time, talent, and resources into your work. Without the right safeguards, it’s vulnerable to misuse, theft, or loss. The right legal support ensures your creations stay yours—and your future stays secure.
You Could Miss Out on Opportunities
Unprotected IP can’t be confidently licensed, sold, or scaled. A strong foundation opens doors for growth, collaboration, and investment.
Infringement Disputes Are Costly
Whether you’re enforcing your rights or responding to accusations, infringement can drain your resources. We help you avoid it altogether.
Your Brand Identity Could Be Compromised
Trademarks and copyrights ensure your brand stays recognizable, protected, and aligned with your reputation and values.
Innovation Without Protection Invites Competition
If your inventions aren’t secured, competitors can replicate and monetize your work—gaining market share from the very vision you brought to life.
Delaying Can Cost You Ownership
IP rights are often first-come, first-served. Waiting too long can mean losing your rights altogether.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Don’t just take our word for it. Hear from the people who trusted us with their most important legal matters.

Susan Ford is exactly the kind of professional that every entrepreneur should have on her team! What we have learned about and accomplished with our intellectual property is extremely critical to scaling our business. Most recently, with Susan’s expert navigating and negotiation, we secured a trademark that was, at the time of initial research, off the table. After months of careful maneuvering, it is now ours!
We’ve worked with Susan Ford for many years and have always had excellent advice and counsel. We’ve established a number of Trademarks, and Susan has helped defend those trademarks. She has also helped us evolve from a sole proprietorship to a partnership to an LLC and provided all the legal advice and services necessary to get it right. When it comes to legal and business advice, Susan is our “go-to” resource.
