Why I Created the Bosses' Lawyer
I worked much of my career at firms serving as outside counsel for large corporations, companies with full time in-house counsel to advise on day-to-day matters. It was then that I realized that smaller entities and entrepreneurs are not afforded the same level of guidance and service, because let's be real: who has $300k a quarter for legal services?
But the fact that small businesses can't afford this level of protection certainly doesn't mean it isn't needed. It just means that small business owners and entrepreneurs often have an inadequate legal foundation to sustain a profitable business and brand. I created the Bosses' Lawyer to close this very important service gap.
I Was Once Where You Are Right Now
The Bosses' Lawyer was born of my own desire to step my entrepreneurial game ALL the way up. When I became a mother to a young son, I realized that there was more to life than going to work and saving my money. I knew I had to create a future for my children that was sustainable beyond my job and even beyond my own life. Motherhood is the reason I decided it was time to boss up. Now, I'm helping others do the same.
What Guides the Work
- Service, community and collaboration
- Responsiveness, thoroughness and exceptional professionalism
- Helping strengthen communities by helping build small businesses and create generational wealth
Legal Help, and DIY When That Fits
The Bosses' Lawyer is so much more than a law firm to me. It's also an avenue to teach. Alongside my legal services, I created The Wealth-Building Business Blueprint course, the Trademarking Biz Boss course and customizable contracts for bosses who want to do some of this themselves. Ask me about them on your discovery call.
