Protect Your Business, Brand, and Innovation with Legal Confidence

Whether you’re launching a startup, growing your company, or protecting your intellectual property, strong legal guidance is critical to long-term success. At Herman Legal Group, we help entrepreneurs, creators, and businesses of all sizes navigate business law and safeguard what makes their brand unique.

From business formation to trademark registration, and from contract drafting to intellectual property disputes, we offer clear strategies to protect your interests, minimize legal risk, and ensure compliance every step of the way.

Business Formation & Compliance

Starting a business involves more than just a great idea — it requires setting up the right legal structure. We help clients choose and establish the correct business entity, such as:

 

  • LLCs (Limited Liability Companies)
  • Corporations (C-Corp, S-Corp)
  • Partnerships or Sole Proprietorships

We also assist with EIN registration, operating agreements, bylaws, and initial compliance documents. Proper formation protects your personal assets and lays a strong foundation for funding, growth, and liability protection.

Contracts & Business Transactions

Clear, well-drafted contracts are essential to prevent disputes and protect your rights. We draft, review, and negotiate key business agreements, including:

 

  • Partnership or shareholder agreements
  • Employment contracts and NDAs
  • Client and vendor agreements
  • Independent contractor agreements

Our goal is to ensure that all parties understand their rights and obligations — and that your interests are protected if things go wrong.

Trademark Registration & Brand Protection

Your brand is your reputation. We help clients register trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to protect logos, names, slogans, and product designs. Our services include:

 

  • Trademark searches to ensure availability
  • Filing USPTO trademark applications
  • Responding to Office Actions or refusals
  • Monitoring and enforcing trademark rights

Whether you’re launching a product or growing an e-commerce business, your brand deserves legal protection to avoid copycats and confusion in the marketplace.

Intellectual Property Strategy & Disputes

Beyond trademarks, we offer IP advisory services to protect creative and business assets, such as:

 

  • Copyright registration for original content
  • Licensing agreements for intellectual property
  • Cease and desist letters for infringement
  • Defense against trademark opposition or cancellation

We help creators, content developers, and businesses monetize their IP and enforce their rights against unauthorized use.

Legal Support for Startups & Entrepreneurs

Startups need agile legal support. We provide flat-fee packages and on-demand services for early-stage businesses, including:

  • Investor readiness and cap table guidance
  • Terms of service and privacy policy for apps or websites
  • Business plan legal review
  • Ongoing counsel as your business grows

Whether you’re raising funds, hiring your first employee, or expanding across state lines, we’re here to keep your business legally secure.
