Retrograde Legal is a law firm made for pushing back against the system.
And when you’re in a fight with the law, we help you win.
Big Corporations, and the government have a well oiled machine to extract the most from you, rip you off, silence you, or take away your freedom. We’re the wrench in that machine.
Retrograde Legal uses a unique blend of legal expertise to help creatives, entrepreneurs, troublemakers, and misfits protect their rights to free expression, and most of all…
raise some hell
We do that by combining Art and Entertainment Law, Labor Law, and Criminal Defense
Corporation stealing your art? We got you
Want to sue your boss? We got you
Need to Protect your right to free speech? We got you
Arrested after a gig? We got you
What we do
The legal system is a labyrinth of rules, pitfalls, and traps. Big companies and the government know how to navigate this legal underworld and use it to their advantage, and your expense.
We’re here to help you use the legal system to your advantage. We help people, creatives, artists, and small businesses protect themselves against exploitative companies, scammers, and government overreach.
Artists Rights
Protect your intellectual property, your likeness, and your right to express yourself.
From your intellectual property to your free speech, we make sure to protect your art, build your brand as an artists, and protect your right to say what you want.
Criminal Defense
Fought the law? Don’t let the law win
Artists and rebels tend to ruffle feathers and disturb the peace. Whether you are charged because of your art, activism, or because they got the wrong person, we make sure you don’t get steamrolled by the State.
Workers Rights
Employers might act like they can do whatever they want, but there are rules they have to follow.
Wrongful termination, hostile work environment and wage theft. Don’t let them get away with it.
Brand Protection
Trademark law is a tool leveraged by big companies to corner markets and squeeze out the little guy, but you can use it to fight back
We help you leverage trademark law to even the playing field, whether its by getting your own trademarks, or satirizing one with fair use law, we help you do it.
Small Business
Tired of being a Cog in the machine? Sick or corporate greed and want to make a decent company? Take the leap.
We help form your business entities, draft your operating agreements, and create your contracts, giving you the same leverage as big companies.
Consumer Protection
Everyone has to buy stuff. We buy things every day. When companies lie to rip you off, we make sure they don’t get away with it.
When companies and corporations rip you off, don’t let them get away with it.
