Welcome to the Law Office
of Philip L. Marcus in Columbia, MD
If
you have a small
business, I am your lawyer. I
can help you to a successful business.
Working
with small
business owners and managers for almost 40 years, I know
Steady
positive cash flow depends on two things a lawyer can help with, well-negotiated deals and well-written
agreements that protect the
business while being fair to customers and suppliers.
Most
of the asset value of a small business lies in the intellectual
property it creates—
° the
patentable inventions;
° the
various copyright materials it creates and whether it acts to protects
them;
° the
trademarks and trade names it uses to mark its
brand, and whether it shields them;
° the
trade secrets such as recipes and business methods it develops and
guards.
So
I am here to ensure
effective negotiation of your deals, by representing you, advising you
and training
your people. And I
well review or write
your form contracts so they protect your business from disputes,
unexpected obligations
and non-payments.
And
I will help you with
all the other annoying and troublesome legal issues a small business
can have.

Negotiating Opportunities
Imagine
your company has
the biggest opportunity it has even had, if only you can negotiate
a great
deal with another company.
It
might be a contract
to provide some Fortune 100 what it needs of certain widgets the next 5
years. Or a chance
to team with another company to
pool talents and bid on a big contract.
Or
sub to a company that has or hopes to get an important contract. Or be employed by the
company of your dreams.
You
are anxious about
either scaring off the other company, or leaving money on the table, or
just
not all that comfortable negotiating.
You
think you should hire a professional to negotiate and get a good deal
for you. Hire
the Negotiation Pro.
Disputes
What if your business is embroiled in a dispute with another company, and is already in court or threatened with a lawsuit, or you think you will need to sue. Paying for litigation—lawyers and expert witnesses—is very expensive. The deposit with the lawyer could easily be $5000 or $15,000 or more. I as a professional may be able to negotiate a resolution without going to court. Hire the Negotiation Pro
Do it Yourself Help
You have an important opportunity or dispute but not so large that it means 'the franchise'. You want to handle it yourself, but get some professional advice, or even a background negotiation consultant. You need to Gab with the Guru!
Negotiation Training
You want to give employees or associates a course that will introduce them to how to negotiate professionally. You don’t want just a course in how to trick people into deals, but in how to make deals that both sides are comfortable with. You want a course that helps teach how to control emotions during negotiation, or how to deal with difficult people on the other side of the table. Look at our training seminars!
Patent Marketing
You have a patent or a pending patent on an invention, but no way to raise capital to make and market a product yourself. You need to license your invention. You need to hire someone who can both find potential licensees and then professionally negotiate a license agreement that will protect you while making you money. We do patent marketing
Intellectual Property
You think you might own some valuable intellectual property, created by you or your business. But it’s all very confusing: patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, service marks, trade secrets. Which I.P. do you have? Do you have to register it? How do you keep it, and for how long? How do you protect it? You need our comprehensive professional legal advice on I.P. Law and Protection
All the rest
You
have employees and
independent consultants. You
have
clients or customers. You
have bankers
and other lenders. All
these and other
relationships can cause you pain legally.
As a long-experienced lawyer who has also run his own
(non-law) small
business and delved into finance, I can also help with many other types
of
problems and possibilities, before they endanger your
business.
