Intro
Hi there! I’m an IP attorney specializing in commercial contracts, IP licensing, and product, and a former mechanical engineer who loves cars and photography. I love building things and helping companies build their businesses.
This blog is for early and growth stage startup founders and operators who want to learn more about a specific aspect of their business that intersects with legal. If that’s you, you’re in the right place! My goal is to help startups spot legal issues or considerations so they can make informed decisions on how to handle them, and when to handle them, while still focusing on growing their companies and building great products customers love. A bit of understanding about law and business considerations can go a long way to avoiding pitfalls and delays. This is also a space to share thoughts on legal developments in AI and how they will affect the startup world generally.
I’m writing from my experience as an attorney supporting startups, as a startup founder, and as a native Silicon Valley tech nerd. Some upcoming blog topics include:
I’d love to hear what topics would be helpful for you! Feel free to send me a note with suggestions at michelle@michellemaesq.com.
