I practice in the areas of Business and Corporate Governance, Trademark and Copyright, Cybersecurity, Media law, Nonprofit law, Technology law, and Real Estate. I represent and advise clients in the areas of high tech, construction, healthcare, non-profit, the arts, advertising, technology, publishing, hospitality, and retail, among others. I have negotiated, drafted, reviewed, and revised scores of business and personal contracts and related agreements, including corporate and LLC documents, purchase contracts, assignments, commercial leases, HOA documents, technology licenses, IP agreements, service contracts, and loan documents, among many others. As a former communications professional, I focus on accessibility and providing exceptional personalized service to each client.
I began my career as a journalist and magazine editor. As such, I had the opportunity to ask a lot of questions. That background provides me with invaluable experience in carefully listening to clients as a means of seeking to understand their issues. I have also been a small business owner, which gives me insights into the issues entrepreneurs face as they attempt to juggle multiple responsibilities, including management, employee relations, intellectual property and trade secrets, and regulatory requirements.
I seek to collaborate with clients and remain in close contact as we undertake a project. By working together, we can effectively identify issues and weigh possible solutions. I have found that when a client is fully informed and has an opportunity to consult with his or or her lawyer, some of the anxiety that the legal system inspires dissipates and problems seem less overwhelming. I'm also a firm believer in the old adage that the only stupid question is the one left unasked.
My hobbies include hiking and backpacking with my wife, daughter, and two golden retrievers, collecting first edition books about the Southwest, and playing bluegrass music on the guitar and dobro.

Barry Scholl - Miscellaneous Projects
Barry first helped with transferring a corporation from the former owners to us when we bought out our partner. That went very smoothly!

Peace of Mind
We hired Barry in 2018 to re-work our operating agreement based on change of ownership in our business. He did a great job with that and has since helped with several other contracts and documents. Every time we’ve contacted him he has been very responsive to our needs. We have peace of mind knowing ...

Trademarks under control
Barry tidied up our trademark applications that another lawyer had done. Because of the nature of our business, these marks will take a while to get into commerce. We appreciate how diligently Barry and his team track our progress and make sure we are going to hold onto these marks through this long ...
