About Shakera
Biography
I am the founder and principal attorney of TKA Law Firm, where my practice focuses on business transactions and intellectual property. I work as fractional general counsel for companies scaling toward investment, partnership, and exit, handling the contracts, intellectual property, and day-to-day legal questions that keep a business moving. My core areas include mergers and acquisitions, venture capital financing, commercial contracts, entity structuring and governance, and trademark and brand protection. Big Law trained on Wall Street transactions, I bring that caliber of judgment to companies that want it without a full-time legal department.
