The Everyday Lawyer™

Changing the way everyday business owners relate to the law

Too many of us
have a skewed understanding of what the law can and cannot do.

And too many others of us
regularly pendulum swing between avoid the law altogether in our businesses or obsessing over how to be perfectly protected by the law at all times.

I’m Brionna, The Everyday Lawyer™, and I’m here to change how you relate to the law.

I’m here to help you see limitations of the law clearly. 

I’m here to introduce you to the choices the law offers and how those choices can create opportunities in your business. 

And I’m here to translate that dense legalese and all the illogical grammar that comes with it so you can make sense of what the law is saying.

This is a legal education platform
for small business owners

Teaching you the
“how” and the “why”
of business law:

 

  • Why the law is the way it is and how to use it to your advantage;

  • How to think strategically about the law as a business owner;

  • Why it’s important to understand what the law can and can’t do and what it is and isn’t meant to do;

  • How to understand, analyze, and negotiate that legalese in your contract; and

  • How to create contracts written in plain language that are effective and easy to understand.

I created The Everyday Lawyer because I firmly believe that creating access to legal knowledge is the best way to shift our relationship to the law. My goal is to provide you cost-feasible access to the legal knowledge you need to make informed and confident decisions in your business. 

I want the law to feel like a business asset instead of business liability. 

And I want the law to be a powerful tool in your toolkit that helps you build a business that supports the life you want to live.

  • "I went into the contract negotiation with so much more confidence."

    "Brionna's feedback was thorough and clear and I went into the contract negotiation with so much more confidence. Her service exceeded my expectations and you should definitely use it. It will not only help with the specific issue you're working on now, but teach you tips for things you can do in the future." -Kerrie

  • "She provided incredibly straightforward explanations."

    “Even after 15 years of owning my business, legal issues – especially new ones – make me SUPER nervous. I hired Brionna to teach me what terms in a new-to-me contract meant and help me develop ways to approach the needed changes. Not only was she timely and provided incredibly straightforward explanations, but she also helped me with ways to approach the potential client to make the changes seem way less scary than they had been when I thought them through myself! I’d recommend her to any freelancer & business owner dealing with a “new to them” legal document or issue or new business owners who need help understanding contracts.” - Corrie

Why You Should
Work with Me

 

  • I spent five years working as a fancy corporate lawyer. I’ve negotiated a lot of business contracts. And I’ve written a ton of them. And I’ve argued about them in court. That means I know what it takes to make a contract effective because I’ve seen them work well and work very badly. 

  • I’ve been supporting freelancers, solopreneurs, and small business owners legally and strategically for six years now. I’m intimately familiar with your pain points when it comes to the law and I can provide you with practical and affordable resources to get you where you’re trying to go. 

  • I’ve been an entrepreneur and well-being educator for 6 years and I know the struggle is real, that negotiating power is rarely equal, and that even the smallest legal issue can feel like it could tank your whole business if you don’t have the proper information and perspective. I’ve got a deep well of compassion precisely because I can relate. 

  • Before becoming a lawyer, I studied sociology so I don’t just teach you the literal rules of law. I also teach about the power dynamics that determine when and how the law is enforced, which results in a better business strategy for you. 

  • I live for the moment when your shoulders drop down from their ears because you realized the law isn’t as scary, complicated, or confusing as you thought.
