Your Legal Partner for Maryland Businesses and Creators
At Carson Legal Strategies, I understand that no two clients are alike. Whether you’re forming your first company or managing an established brand, I provide customized solutions that combine Maryland-specific compliance with federal protection.
Our core practice areas include:
Company Formation and Structuring
I help Maryland entrepreneurs choose the right legal entity—LLC, corporation, or partnership—and file all required documentation with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT). I ensure your business starts strong and legally sound.
Trademark Registration
Protect your brand identity through comprehensive USPTO filings. I manage the full registration process, addressing refusals, conflicts, and office actions so you can secure your mark efficiently.
Trademark Management
Ongoing brand protection is key to maintaining value. I handle renewals, enforcement, and infringement monitoring to keep your trademarks active and defensible.
Copyright Registration & Management
For artists, developers, and content creators, I register and monitor copyrights to safeguard your intellectual property from unauthorized use or reproduction.
Contract Drafting & Negotiation
From vendor agreements to licensing deals, I draft, review, and negotiate contracts that clearly define rights, responsibilities, and remedies. Every agreement is built to protect your best interests and reduce future risk.
