Associate Attorney at Romano Law focusing on Litigation, Art Law, and Content-Driven Businesses. I deliver innovative legal frameworks through relationship architecture and human-centered contract design. By combining my background in communication, mediation, and IP, I create agreements that go beyond constraining behavior to building successful relationships.

My practice serves working artists, emerging cultural institutions, and entrepreneurs with emphasis on asset management and protection, dispute resolution, regulatory compliance, and corporate law in the arts and entertainment sectors. I also handle select matters involving art collections and international trade. Previously, I practiced in Austin, TX as a member of Texas Accountants & Lawyers for the Arts, providing pro bono counsel to artists and entrepreneurs.
