Connecticut Contract Lawyer and IP Agreements
Connecticut contract counsel. Federal trademark and IP agreements for clients nationwide.
Every business runs on contracts, whether or not they were written to protect you. A vague client agreement, a missing operating agreement, or a vendor contract you signed without reading closely is a risk that sits quietly on your books until the day it is not.
I am Tony Woolard, founder of Harborage Law. Yale trained and Harvard educated, I began as a scientist, as a postgraduate researcher at Yale School of Medicine with a master's degree in biology from Harvard, before becoming an attorney licensed to practice law in Connecticut and admitted to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The work is flat-fee and quoted before we begin, and the language is clear enough that you actually understand what you are signing.
Connecticut contract work
I draft and review contracts for Connecticut businesses, and for businesses formed elsewhere whose operations, deals, or counterparties are here in Connecticut.
- Client and service agreements
- Operating agreements for LLCs, including single-member LLCs
- Independent contractor and freelancer agreements
- Non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements
- Vendor, supplier, and partnership agreements
- Commercial lease review, including landlord additional-insured requirements and whether you are signing personally or as your business
- Review of any contract sent to you, with the risky terms flagged clearly before you sign
IP agreements, available nationwide
Trademark and patent practice before the USPTO is federal, so I represent clients anywhere in the United States. As part of that federal IP practice I prepare the agreements that protect your intellectual property:
- Trademark and IP license agreements
- IP assignments and transfers
- Coexistence and consent agreements
- Confidentiality agreements protecting your brand and inventions
How it works
Flat fee, quoted up front. After a short conversation about what you need, you get a fixed price with no hourly surprises. You get documents you can read, a short explanation of the terms that matter most, and fast turnaround, with rush timelines available.
Frequently asked questions
My company is registered in another state, but my work is in Connecticut. Can you help? Yes. If your operations or the matter itself is in Connecticut, I can handle your contracts.
I am outside Connecticut and need trademark or IP help. Can you help? Yes. USPTO trademark and patent matters are federal, so I work with clients nationwide, including the license and assignment agreements that go with them.
What contracts does my small business need? Most businesses need a client or service agreement, an operating agreement if they are an LLC, and clear terms with vendors, contractors, and employees. A short review identifies your gaps.
How much does it cost? I quote a flat fee up front after understanding your needs, so you know the total before we start.
