About Abid
Biography
I protect businesses, including technology startups, small business owners, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits, from costly legal pitfalls so they can focus on growing their business. I help my clients avoid the kinds of mistakes that can cause them to go out of business. My goal is to prevent costly litigation as much as possible. However, sometimes, litigation is unavoidable, and I provide efficient, cost-effective, results-driven representation in business litigation.
A typical client may hire me for:
- Entity formation, restructuring, mergers, and dissolutions
- Representation with investors, venture capitalists, and other funding sources
- Business litigation over a variety of contract, trademarks, and other business disputes
- Setting up stock options
- Reviewing and negotiating commercial leases
- License agreements
- Contracts and other matters
- Corporate compliance for non-profits and churches
- Disputes with business employees
