FOR COMPANIES
New Jersey Business Attorney
Contracts, compliance, licensing and entity structure for New Jersey companies, handled as ongoing coverage rather than one-off matters.
Past Templates, Short of a Full-Time Hire
Liva Law LLC works best with companies that have outgrown downloaded templates but are not yet ready to put a general counsel on payroll. At that stage the expensive problems are rarely the lawsuits. They are the agreements signed without anyone reading the indemnity, the license applied for late, and the entity structure that no longer matches how the business actually operates.
The engagement is built around being reachable. Because the relationship is continuous, the useful conversation happens before a decision rather than after it, and you are not weighing whether a question is worth the phone call.
Edward Liva brings 20 years across law, compliance, risk management, and business operations to that work, including general counsel and senior management roles at smaller financial services and technology companies and senior roles at Barclays covering wholesale client onboarding, financial crimes policies and procedures, and operational risk reporting and governance. The approach is practical: identify the real risk, explain the available options clearly, and help implement a solution that works.
