Potent legal counsel for flourishing brands

Early in his career, Asif gained seminal experience working closely with top brands such as the College Licensing Company, NBA, NHL, MLB, and NFL on their brand protection strategy and enforcement efforts. After law school, he began his legal career working for an early-stage TechStars-backed startup where he worked with founders and tech entrepreneurs to secure work visas (EB-1 and 0-1). Asif’s early legal experience, coupled with his corporate experience,  allows him to provide his clients with robust legal support through every stage of growth.

Attuned legal solutions for growth stage and beyond.

Asif enjoys working closely with a variety of companies and entrepreneurs on a wide range of business, corporate, and transactional matters. Having advised companies, small and large—from freelancers to venture-backed tech startups to entertainment enterprises—Asif truly enjoys the opportunity to help clients find tailored, sustainable legal solutions.

Serving and supporting your company’s vision.

Before joining Foundry, Asif most recently served as in-house counsel to a blockchain company. Working on the cutting edge of Web3 technologies, Asif brings a fresh and innovative perspective to Foundry’s legal team and complex legal matters. His legal solutions are creative, skillful, and well-crafted for long- and short-term business needs.

Having grown up in the small, farm town of Hilmar, CA, Asif feels fortunate to work closely with technology companies and innovators who are creating tomorrow’s technology innovations today. As the product of a town of less than 6,000 inhabitants Asif understands the power of a close knit community and jumps at the opportunity to give a helping hand or meet-up with aspiring lawyers and entrepreneurs for coffee. He also volunteers to judge Gonzaga Law School’s Saul Lefkowitz moot court team.

No stranger to a warm flannel and a locally-sourced meal. 

Asif works and lives in Spokane, WA where he adores spending time with his fiancée, daughter, and dog.  An avid and aspiring semi-professional bass fisherman, he loves spending time outdoors. When he’s away from the water, he finds relaxation in his backyard gardening or barbequing. A firm believer in sustainable agriculture, he’s a patron of local regenerative agriculture and family farms.
