I am a business, intellectual property and technology lawyer with a concentration in evolving media and technologies, copyrghts and trademarks, privacy and data security.  My commitment is to deliver cutting-edge expertise in emerging fields, but at reasonable rates and under creative and affordable billing arrangements.  I am proud to have among my clients a number of innovative web  and social media-focused startups and non-profit organizations in Philadelphia's vibrant creative economy.  After years in big law firms andas in-house corporate counsel, I am highly sensitive to clients' concernsabout the cost of legal services, particularly in these tough economic times,and believe that lawyers must understand their clients' business goals and workcreatively to promote them.  I founded Baer Business Law to get back towhat I know and do best:  providingstraightforward, down-to-earth counseling and transactional assistance forclients, telling them what they need to know to achieve their goals and protecttheir businesses rather than wasting their precious time and money oninsignificant issues.
