From Our Founder:

Our History and Mission

left-quote

As a young professional, I brought my love for writing, educating, and collaboration with me to law school at the University of Akron, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude with my Juris Doctor.

At Daniel Ross & Associates LLC, we pride ourselves on being a premier, affordable legal resource for businesses of all sizes. Headquartered in Cleveland, OH, our talented staff has provided high-quality intellectual property and business law services to entrepreneurs, start-ups, and scale-ups across the U.S. and around the world since January 2016.

I’m proud to say that DR&A has become a world class business that still takes a personal approach and abides by our day-one tenet of collaboration and service to the small business community.

In the same spirit, I hope that my team and I can give you an experience you’ll remember.

What We Do at Daniel Ross & Associates

At Daniel Ross & Associates, we help businesses grow and protect what they build. Since 2016, we’ve provided practical, forward-thinking legal solutions to startups, creatives, and established companies alike. Our boutique law firm model delivers personalized attention, fast turnaround, and flat-fee transparency—whether you’re launching a business, protecting your brand, or navigating a major transaction.

We focus on four key areas of business law:

Business Formation & Operating Documents

From LLC formation to corporate governance, we help new and evolving businesses get set up the right way. We handle state filings, EIN registration, and the internal operating documents that define ownership and management.

Our business formation services include:

  • LLC and corporation formation filings with the Secretary of State
  • IRS EIN registration
  • Registered agent services
  • Operating Agreements and Bylaws

Trademarks & Copyrights

We help clients register and enforce federal trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and file copyrights through the U.S. Copyright Office. Whether you’re launching a new brand or managing a growing portfolio, we help ensure your creative work stays yours.

Our trademark and copyright services include:

  • Trademark searches and clearance
  • USPTO application and prosecution
  • Office action responses and enforcement advice
  • International trademark filings through WIPO
  • Copyright registration and strategic planning

We’ve filed hundreds of applications for clients across the U.S. and internationally—and we make the process clear, quick, and cost-efficient.

Contracts

Every business relationship—from partners and new hires to vendors and customers—starts with a contract. We draft, review, and revise agreements to protect your interests, reflect your goals, and reduce risk down the line.

Our contract work includes:

  • Employment and contractor agreements
  • Joint venture and partnership agreements
  • Master service agreements and licensing
  • NDAs, non-competes, and waivers
  • Website policies (EULAs, privacy policies, ToS)

Business Purchase, Sale & Succession

We represent buyers and sellers in business acquisitions, ownership changes, and succession planning. Whether you’re selling to a third party or passing the business to the next generation, we guide you through the process with clear documentation and proactive legal support.

Our business transfer services include:

  • Business and asset purchase agreements
  • Stock sales and membership transfers
  • Partner buyouts and exit planning
  • Ownership succession and vesting strategies

We keep deals on track with strong communication and documents that protect your investment from start to finish.
