Meet Your In-House Counsel
For your family, your business, and everything you are building between them.
For your family, your business, and everything you are building between them. Your first business, after all, is your home: the household you run, the people you steward, the small economy of love and logistics you keep humming every day. We honor that as the original enterprise it is, and we tend the whole house from there, so the things you love and the things you have made are kept safe under one roof.
We are not only interested in your documents. We care about the culture and the flow of the thing you are building, the feel of it, the way it runs when no one is watching. We think about culture at the very beginning, because a house is only as steady as the ground it sits on. It is far gentler to build on a solid foundation than to tear out the walls and rebrand years down the line, after everything has already taken root.
We keep you current, too. The ground is shifting beneath every founder right now, and we walk it with you: emerging technology, AI governance and policy, and the practical work of putting AI to use in your business, with coaching to match. We help you choose not simply a tool that works, but the tool that aligns with your brand and the way you want to feel running it. And here is what sets us apart. Because we are lawyers as well as coaches, we keep the legal updated as the technology moves, something a business coach without a law practice simply cannot do for you. You get the strategy and the safeguard in the same steady hand.
When your needs reach past our own door, we open another. We keep a circle of trusted, top-of-their-field experts for the work that lives alongside the law: tax strategy, real estate, accounting and bookkeeping, insurance, wealth planning, and brand and design. If we cannot help you ourselves, we know someone who can, or we will get to know them for you. You are never sent off to figure it out alone.
And if you are not ready for all of that yet, there is still a place for you here. Stay a while. Read the journal. Follow along on social, where the conversation continues in smaller, everyday ways. Come sit with us at a live event when the season is right. There is no rush, and no wrong way to begin.
Because you are not simply starting a business. You are building something meant to last, something that can be passed down and built upon. And you deserve more than another nine-to-five of your own making. You deserve a life, and a legacy, that holds.

The quiet certainty of knowing the ground beneath you is solid. This is the easiest way to keep a lawyer in the house, built for the founder who is finally ready to stop guessing and start standing on something sure. We open with a complete legal audit of your business, the five pillars examined one by one, so you see exactly what is protected and what is exposed. Then you settle in, with the whole foundational library at your fingertips: the 55-Point Setup Checklist, the founder's IP protection kit, the intellectual property primer for creating with AI, and the templates I reach for most. Each month you may bring me your questions, the small worries that used to keep you up, and have them answered in plain language by someone who knows your story. Once a quarter we light a longer lamp together and look at the season ahead.
Includes:
A full onboarding legal audit (the five-pillar Foundations review)
Your complete members' library and template collection
Unlimited quick legal questions each month, answered by email
One document reviewed or lightly drafted each quarter
A quarterly strategy and check-in session
Member pricing on anything beyond your plan
You walk away each month with: a tended foundation and a lawyer who already knows your house.
The room where the real work gets made. For the founder and the maker building in earnest, who wants her counsel close at hand, not once a quarter but every single month. Everything from The Foundation is yours, and now the doors open wider. We meet monthly, the two of us, to move through whatever the business or the work has placed in front of you, from contracts and collaborations to your music, your masters, and your rights. Your documents are drafted and reviewed as you need them, with a generous monthly allowance and a full round of revisions woven into each, so nothing leaves the house until it fits you perfectly. And your name, your marks, and your creative work are watched over, with a trademark and copyright consultation kept within arm's reach. Your messages move to the front of the line. This is what it feels like to build with a lawyer in the next chair.
Everything in The Foundation, plus:
A monthly live strategy session, just the two of us
Document creation and review, up to an agreed upon number each month, revisions included
IP, and contract guidance as your work moves
A trademark and copyright consultation each year, with watchful guidance in between
Priority response, within two business days
Member access to the full contract template library
You walk away each month with: your documents handled, your work protected, and your counsel always in the next room.
The whole house, beautifully kept. This is in-house counsel in its fullest sense, for the founder, the artist, the trades professional, and the family building something meant to outlast them. I become your outside general counsel in everything but the letterhead: drafting, reviewing, and helping you negotiate as the year unfolds, with your documents handled as freely as the work requires, and standing with you in select disputes when a matter cannot be settled any other way. Your intellectual property is not merely watched but tended, your catalog and filings supported, your portfolio cared for like a garden through every season. And because a person’s life is rarely only her business, The Family Business plan gathers your personal legacy into the same loving keeping, so the people you love and the things you have built are protected under one roof. You hold a direct line to me, and a standing place near the front of everything I do.
Everything in Working Counsel, plus:
Ongoing general counsel: drafting, review, and negotiation support through the year
Document handling as freely as your work requires, within scope
IP portfolio care, including trademark filing and catalog support
Representation in select disputes and complex matters, by arrangement
The Family Keeping, extending protection from your business to your personal legacy
A direct line to Jacqueline and same-week priority access
A quarterly business and legal review of the whole estate
You walk away each month with: a fully tended house, business and family kept safe under one roof.
