INTRODUCTION
“Sorting out my legal issues is so much fun! I can’t wait to get started!” - Said, no one ever 😫

What’s your business worth?
Good legal strategy could save $$$ of dollars and hundreds of hours of frustration and stress!
Let's think about the value of a solid Legal Strategy:
You could spend endless hours turning to Google for answers to your legal questions. ⏰
But how do you know that anonymous internet legal advice is reliable? Unfortunately, the online world is brimming with less-than-stellar legal advice (and *ahem* fake and unscrupulous lawyers). 🚫
You could also ignore the legal side of things altogether. 😬
But what if, by doing so, you're unknowingly leaking money or putting your precious business in jeopardy? 🙈
You can save time, money, and unnecessary stress with the right legal strategy. ⏰💰😌
Okay, no secrets here, but our prices usually climb every January (yep, you can thank inflation for that).
So, if you're all about snagging a deal (and who isn't?), plus you still want all that A+ service we're known for, don't wait!
Jump on board now before those prices decide to reach for the stars.
Legal Strategy might be your perfect fit if:
-
You've rolled up your sleeves and tackled nearly everything independently, including diving down the Google rabbit hole for legal advice. But now, there are a few things you could use a pro's perspective on. Like, is it time to legally incorporate your business? Are your contracts missing some vital elements? 📝
-
Your podcast or course is making waves. But what's keeping someone from swiping your brand? Remember, you can’t stop copycats until you've copyrighted your work and trademarked your brand. And trust me, it happens more than you'd like to believe. 🎙️🔒
-
Using contract templates served you well in the early days, but now as your business has expanded, it's time for custom contracts that fit your unique needs for working with clients, vendors, and partners. 📜
-
Your book's success has attracted movie studios wanting to buy the rights. You need a tenacious advocate in your corner. 🤝
Legal Strategy might not be the right fit if:
-
You've got a reliable legal counselor who's got your back, ready to untangle your legal questions and dilemmas.
-
You're on top of your game. You've already incorporated your business and put copyrights and trademarks in place. Your contracts have grown and changed with your business and reflect your unique brand voice.
-
You're in the early stages of a low-risk business, and your top priority is growth and client acquisition. You have no pressing legal issues at the moment.
-
You've safeguarded your brand with trademarks, and you're feeling secure.
