Giving Back to the Community: An IP Lawyer Shares His Knowledge, Experience & Skills
CHICAGO – David Adler believes in the old adage that "you reap what you sow." For the last ten years he's been planting the seeds of knowledge about intangible assets, respect for intellectual property rights and inspiration for would-be entrepreneurs. Mr. Adler regularly writes articles about issues that are important to entrepreneurs and business owners like "Addressing The Risks of Doing Business Online," "Beware of Notices Regarding Your Trademark" and "Checklist of provisions for an LLC Operating Agreement," an article that ranks in the top ten percent of those viewed on EvanCarmichael.com, an Internet resource for entrepreneurs.
Besides writing, he speaks to industry and trade groups on issues such as "Practical Copyright & Trademark Guidance for Webmasters," "Intellectual Property Law for Transactional Attorneys" and "Legal Aspects of Ecommerce: Securing Ecommerce Transactions." Most recently, Mr. Adler presented a free Business Education Workshop on the basics of Copyrights & Trademarks through the City of Chicago Department of Business Affairs & Licensing. And the goodwill doesn't stop there. He regularly supports Chicago's creative community through Pro Bono work in conjunction with Lawyers For The Creative Arts.
Mr. Adler is the driving force behind a boutique intellectual property law firm based in Chicago, Illinois. Founded in 1998, the Adler Law Group was created with a specific mission: to offer clients a competitive advantage by providing the same strategic and legal guidance and services available from large, often cost-prohibitive, law firms on an efficient and affordable level. Mr. Adler has an extensive background, in both private practice and in-house settings and also specializes in advising artistic talent and creative professionals in the media and entertainment industries.
In today's market, every business is looking for ways to cut cost without sacrificing quality or value. Although facing an often confusing and changing set of challenges to ensure their business remains legally compliant, few can afford the highly qualified and versatile legal staff needed to deal with today's complex and inconstant legal and regulatory environment. By giving back to the community, Mr. Adler feels that he is educating existing clients and would-be clients in a way that will enable them to use legal counsel more effectively and efficiently.
"Not only do I feel more secure about the decisions I'm making, but just consulting someone on a regular basis has helped identify and avoid problems before they even materialized," says Rudy Rutenberg, CEO of Unisource Technology, Inc., one of the firm's clients.
