California Business & Trademark Attorney

Protecting Entrepreneurs, Innovators, and Creatives Across the Golden State

California is home to the world’s most dynamic business and creative communities—from Silicon Valley startups and Los Angeles media companies to local entrepreneurs building the next big idea. At Carson Legal Strategies, I help California clients protect their ideas, register their intellectual property, and build solid legal foundations for long-term success.

Whether you’re forming a new company, launching a brand, or managing multiple trademarks, our firm delivers sophisticated legal solutions with the responsiveness and personal attention your business deserves.

Comprehensive Legal Services for California Businesses

Our firm represents clients across California in a full range of business and intellectual property matters, combining deep legal knowledge with a modern, client-first approach.

My key practice areas include:

Company Formation and Structuring

Choosing the right entity is crucial in California’s complex business environment. I help you register LLCs, corporations, and partnerships, file Articles of Incorporation with the California Secretary of State, and ensure full compliance with state and local regulations.

Trademark Registration

From tech startups in San Jose to lifestyle brands in San Diego, I guide California businesses through the entire USPTO trademark registration process, addressing refusals, oppositions, and enforcement with precision and care.

Trademark Management

After registration, I help you manage renewals, monitor for infringement, and protect your mark against unauthorized use—so your brand stays secure and valuable.

Copyright Registration & Management

California’s creative industries rely on strong copyright protection. I handle registrations for artists, filmmakers, developers, and content creators, ensuring your original works remain legally protected.

Contract Drafting & Negotiation

In a state where innovation thrives, every partnership and agreement matters. I draft, review, and negotiate contracts that safeguard your business relationships while reducing exposure to future disputes.
