About RO LAW LLC
RO LAW LLC is a boutique law firm in Germantown, Maryland, focused on deals, contracts, intellectual property, and disputes. The practice is built around three core areas: getting transactions done, protecting what a business or creative venture is built on, and enforcing those rights when they are tested. Its work spans company formation and structuring, asset purchases, buy-sell agreements, closings, commercial real estate and transaction counsel, contract drafting and negotiation, option, talent, distribution, and NIL agreements, and outside general counsel. On the intellectual property side, the firm handles trademark clearance, USPTO filings and office actions, copyright registration and licensing, trade secrets, NDAs, restrictive covenants, renewals, monitoring, and portfolio maintenance. Disputes work includes breach of contract, business disputes, and IP enforcement in Maryland and District of Columbia courts and the federal courts there, with an emphasis on strategy, risk assessment, demand letters, pre-suit resolution, and representation through negotiation, mediation, or trial.
The firm serves founders, creators, and businesses, with particular relevance for clients in entertainment, media, tech, and other ventures where brand and creative assets matter. Its stated mission is to provide responsive, strategic counsel without the bloat of a large institution, and it describes a process in which every matter begins with a short intake and conflicts check, followed by a written scope before work starts.

Clients repeatedly highlight preparation, knowledge, responsiveness, and clear communication.

White, Esq., is licensed in Maryland and the District of Columbia and has a background in film studies before law school, which the firm presents as an advantage for entertainment, media, and tech clients.
