Jun 2012 - Feb 2022 • 9 yrs 8 mos

As Legal Advisor at Chocolate Moose Media, I guided the company through the legal aspects of media production, creative services, commercial partnerships, and business expansion. My role centered on delivering practical legal solutions that balanced creative innovation with regulatory compliance and commercial protection. I directed the preparation and negotiation of production agreements, creative service contracts, intellectual property licenses, sponsorship agreements, influencer collaborations, non-disclosure agreements, and vendor arrangements. Every document was evaluated to preserve ownership rights, define commercial obligations, and minimize contractual uncertainty. My practice extended to advising on copyright ownership, trademark protection, media licensing, advertising regulations, privacy compliance, and digital publishing requirements. I performed legal analysis on proposed business initiatives and issued recommendations that supported legally compliant growth while protecting valuable creative assets. Beyond transactional work, I established legal risk management procedures by conducting compliance reviews, evaluating operational practices, and recommending governance improvements. I also advised on commercial disagreements by interpreting contractual provisions, assessing legal merit, and developing negotiation strategies that resolved disputes efficiently while maintaining business relationships. Professional accomplishments included strengthening intellectual property portfolios, improving legal compliance across media operations, refining contract lifecycle management, minimizing commercial and regulatory exposure, supporting successful strategic collaborations, and implementing legal processes that enhanced operational resilience, protected company assets, and facilitated long-term commercial success.
