SAN
FRANCISCO -
Fetish site Kink.com has
hired Chad Belville, aka ChadKnowsLaw, as its in-house counsel.
Belville told AVN Online, "I am excited as
hell! This is a great opportunity at a great company and I am thrilled to
be working with this team.
"I bring four years experience as an elected county attorney, almost 2 years
working as counsel in a real estate company writing and reviewing contracts,
and almost 4 years in private practice focusing only on the adult online
industry. Kink is more than just a company, it is a community in itself
and working with this team at the old National Guard Armory is not just a job,
it is an adventure!"
"Chad Belville brings years
of experience in the industry and a broad understanding of the unique issues
faced by companies specializing in quality adult entertainment," said Peter
Acworth, founder and CEO of Kink. "We also believe he is a good fit for
our company and in the San Francisco
community. He is well known on the gay side, where we want to
expand. We think he is a great addition to our team!"
Belville is the first
in-house counsel the 10-year-old company has employed.
"I am very excited about
working as part of the Kink.com team," Belville added. "I will still be
servicing a small number of my regular clients, but I will be spending most of
my time in San Francisco and a few days each month
in Phoenix. Peter
and his team have been fantastic at welcoming me to this new position."
