Expertise

With many years of both law firm and in-house experience, Chestek Legal has a pragmatic approach to your business

We understand that a successful enterprise is constantly challenged with balancing time constraints, budget, and legal risk while nurturing and growing business opportunities.

 

Open Source

Counsel to open source non-profits

Ms. Chestek’s work within the open source community has taught her the value of openness, participation, and collaboration. She brings this practice to her work with her clients, whether they are in technology, design, communication, branding, the arts, or other creative businesses.

Whether you choose to use traditional models of intellectual property ownership or follow an alternative path, Chestek Legal can help you understand and make the right choices about owning, sharing, and spreading your message and your work. We can advise you on traditional ownership and licensing models, open source models, or Creative Commons licensing.
