Principle & Founder

Faisal's practice is focused on business, immigration and entertainment law. His experience as a talent manager, in-house counsel and in private practice allows him to have a unique perspective that translates to practical and effective representation for a new generation of creators and entrepreneurs. Faisal is a shepherd for his clients and works closely with each of them to advise on all matters relating to building and protecting their businesses and IP.

After law school, Faisal worked for a real estate and business firm in New York City where he handled residential and commercial property transactions, business disputes, premises liability, permitting/licensing and a variety of other governance and compliance matters. From there, he transitioned to an in-house counsel position at a live entertainment conglomerate in New York City. For several years, Faisal has learned from some of the brightest and most well-respected attorneys in the industry; each of whom had their own specialties (e.g., tax, labor and employment, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, commercial transactions, intellectual property, etc.). Faisal's experience working with different practice groups gave him the ability to issue spot on both a macro and micro level. His diverse skill-set, passion for the arts,  undeniable work-ethic, and commitment to building relationships creates a powerful formula for tackling even the most challenging legal problems.

Faisal's practice is especially committed to empowering AAPI and POC creators/entrepreneurs. Faisal has worked alongside some of the preeminent leaders in this space, particularly in the area of dance music.
