I am honored to be chosen to develop such an innovative program. Today, more than ever, we need a strong legal army to PROTECT intellectual property rights and SERVE creative businesses.
Here’s the story…
When I graduated from law school, I confidently launched my career, hitting potholes, scratching my knees, banging my shins along the way. There was a steep learning curve that I now know could have been totally eliminated.
Like every new attorney, I faced hidden barriers that most people couldn’t understand. To them, I was “a lawyer” and they had no idea the questions that could keep a legal newbie up at night!
Sleepless nights (What if a client asks a question I can’t answer?)
In developing this program, I went back and pulled together the answers to all of those questions and more. I applied decades as a business advisor to creative individuals and businesses and combined that with the years spent as a commercial litigator, general counsel, and principal of my own firm.
Next, we tested the formula by running an extensive pilot program (Shout out to all of the ArtWorks.™ Alums and Externs) and this is how we create the secret sauce
What took many years to develop is now neatly packaged in a step-by-step program to reduce the learning curve to mere months.
