Tony Naquan Woolard

I am Tony Woolard, founder of Harborage Law PLLC in Westbrook, Connecticut. Before I became an attorney, I was a scientist: a postgraduate researcher in pulmonary and critical care at Yale School of Medicine, with a master's degree in biology from Harvard. That training taught me precision and patience, and I am grateful it now serves the small business owners and creators I work with every day.

My practice focuses on federal trademark registration, patent applications, and copyright registration for clients nationwide, and on contract drafting, contract review, and business counseling for Connecticut businesses. I am licensed to practice law in Connecticut and am a registered patent attorney before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (Reg. No. 79,956). Before founding Harborage Law, I served as in-house IP counsel for an international company and practiced intellectual property law at firms in Connecticut and Rhode Island. In 2024, I was humbled to receive the In-House Impact Award at the New England Legal Awards.

I built Harborage Law to be exactly what its name suggests: a safe harbor. Legal matters are stressful, and too many business owners have been left guessing about their bills. I work on flat fees quoted before we begin, I explain things clearly and with care, and I take the time to understand your business, because protecting what you have built is a responsibility I do not take lightly. If you are not sure where to start, please reach out; the consultation is free, and I would be glad to help.
