I'm Steffan Alexander Lazerow — a business attorney and passionate entrepreneur. I have a decade of experience, practicing across the business law landscape: formation, contracts, IP, brand protection, partnerships, and the day-to-day legal questions companies run into. When you hire me, you get someone who thinks like a CEO first and a lawyer second — no big-firm baggage, no billable-hour theater, no junior associate handling your work.
▸ WHO I WORK WITH
I serve as outside counsel to a dozen businesses and entrepreneurs in:
✓ Tech & SaaS
✓ E-commerce & DTC brands
✓ Content creators & influencers
✓ Music & entertainment
✓ Health, wellness & lifestyle
▸ WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME
✓ Entrepreneur-first mindset — I've sat in your seat
✓ Plain-English answers to complex legal questions
✓ Direct access to me, not a rotating cast of associates
✓ Practical advice tied to business outcomes, not just legal CYA
✓ Predictable, transparent engagement
▸ CREDENTIALS & RECOGNITION
✓ J.D., Loyola University Chicago School of Law (2016)
✓ A decade of practicing business law
✓ Outside counsel to a dozen active clients across multiple industries
✓ Selected as one of a small group of professionals featured at Upwork's 2023 Work Without Limits Executive Summit
▸ HOW I COMMUNICATE
I take real pride in being an educator. Law shouldn't feel like a black box, and my clients shouldn't have to nod along pretending they understood. My job is to translate — to break down complex legal concepts so you can make confident, informed decisions for your business. Expect clear answers, prompt replies, and zero jargon for jargon's sake.
If you're a founder, creator, or operator looking for a sharp legal partner who actually gets what you're building, let's talk. I'd love to hear about your business.

Lucky to have found Steffan
I feel lucky to have found Steffan. After a bad experience with a high-priced law firm, I turned to Steffan to draft an operating agreement.
