Hi, I'm Brionna.

I’m a retired fancy corporate lawyer, turned small business lawyer, turned entrepreneur and educator.

I spent 7 years working as a lawyer (5 of them were fancy) before I hung up my legal hat a couple years ago to focus on educating and supporting the wellbeing of creators, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and hybrid workers. 

I want to provide you with the foundation you need to work and run your business on your own terms.

My background

I started my career as a litigator at a fancy law firm defending giant corporations in business deals gone sour. This got boring (and soul sucking) quickly.

 Later, I added a startup focus to my practice and began counseling startup founders on legal issues to consider you’re first building a business. This was a lot more fun. So much fun that I left law firm life to become the second legal hire at an electric vehicle startup. While there, I litigated, drafted and negotiated a lot of contracts, and developed and enforced internal policies and procedures about intellectual property, hiring and firing employees and contractors, and purchasing and procurement. 

But as that company grew, I started missing counseling everyday people about their businesses. So I started my own practice on the side where I handled smaller legal issues for solopreneurs, small business owners, and employees.

I closed that practice a couple years ago. 

Here’s what I’ve learned

In the time I spent as a lawyer and more recently as a full-time solopreneur, here’s what I know about everyday people like you, business, and the law:

You don’t like it when the law feels scary, overwhelming, or like a hassle.

A lot of those feelings can be resolved once you become proficient in legalese. That’s why I focus on making you legalese literate. Once you how the law works, why it works the way that it works, and what to do about it, you’ll feel less scared and more calm and confident navigating the legal aspects of your business.

You don’t want to spend a lot of money.

Paying hourly rates just to understand the law is crazy and cost prohibitive. That’s why I charge a flat rate and focus on teaching you what the law means and how it works. And when you’re not worried about money, you ask better questions, which result in better explanations from me, which ultimately improves your legalese literacy. 

Dealing with companies, especially large corporations can be a headache.

Everything from submitting an invoice, to getting a contract signed, to actually getting paid is quite a process. Lucky for you, I’ve created those processes in the past and can walk you through them ahead of time so you know exactly what questions to ask and how to structure your pricing to your advantage.

I’m here to help

So if what you need is a brief, straightforward and practical legal education, then look no further.
