About Steven
Steven Buchwald earned his law degree at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where he concentrated his studies in intellectual property law and corporate law. He took courses that covered the intersection of business structures and the protections that attach to creative and technical works. The curriculum at Cardozo exposed him to transactional drafting, licensing issues and the basic contours of corporate governance.
After law school, Buchwald moved into private practice. He began handling matters that sat at the crossroads of commerce and invention. Early on he worked on agreements and corporate filings. Over time he added more complex intellectual property tasks to his workload. He developed a steady practice advising small businesses and individual creators on how to organize their affairs and protect their assets.
Buchwald’s approach is practical. He aims to translate rights and obligations into plain terms his clients can use. That has made him a regular point of contact for entrepreneurs setting up companies and for creators trying to decide whether to register, license or otherwise monetize their work. He has experience drafting and negotiating contracts, preparing trademark-related materials, and structuring basic corporate governance documents.
Clients come to him for hands-on legal work rather than litigation strategy. He spends a significant portion of his time on transactional matters: business formations, partnership agreements, licensing arrangements and IP-related contracts. He also assists clients who are planning deals, helping them put the paper in order so they can move ahead with financing or collaboration. The work requires attention to detail and an ability to anticipate practical pitfalls; Buchwald has built his practice around those skills.
Today he practices at Buchwald & Associates. The firm handles a range of business and intellectual property matters. He continues to work with small and mid-sized enterprises, founders and creators, advising them on the legal choices that shape early growth and commercial rollout. He focuses his current practice on intellectual property and corporate law.
