Zack G. Sharpe, IV
I founded Sharpe Counsel to bridge the gap between law and business. My goal is simple: to understand your ambitions and protect them through sharp, strategic legal work that gives you confidence and control.
My path has taken me through over a decade of experience across employment, business, and brand law—from litigating complex disputes at leading firms like Littler Mendelson to serving as Counsel at Justworks.
My Approach
Turning Potential Into Protection
Success is about more than the right answer—it’s about positioning yourself to win before the question ever arises.
Precision Over Volume
Every contract, clause, and negotiation is handled with care and intention. No shortcuts, no templates. We are not a high-volume firm.
Strategy Over Reaction
I help clients play the long game—building leverage and clarity before they need it, rather than just putting out fires.
Trust Over Transaction
Legal counsel should be a relationship, not a one-time service. I aim to be the first call you make for any major decision.
Why Clients Choose Me
Pragmatism & Power
My work blends litigation discipline with business pragmatism—the ability to both protect and empower. Over the years, I’ve guided leaders, creators, and organizations through moments that define their careers and brands.
I understand what it means to make high-stakes decisions, to negotiate from a position of strength, and to protect something that represents more than just money—it represents your name, your work, and your reputation.
“I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all legal advice — I believe in clarity, leverage, and outcomes that match your ambition.”
