You shouldn’t avoid the legal aspects of your business just because they feel daunting or they’re not your forte. And you definitely don’t need to spend a fortune to meet up with a suit in a fancy high rise who will bill you $400 an hour.
Why do I care so much that you get access to this? Aren’t I a lawyer who charges clients for supporting their businesses?
Hi. I’m Keren de Zwart, founder of Not Your Father’s Lawyer.
My entire business model is based on shirking that old-school law firm mentality and making sure entrepreneurs and small business have accessto the legal information they need to start and grow their business.
So what do I know? I was that suit in a fancy high rise. (Though, honestly, I’ve always been more of a jeans and t-shirt sort of gal.)
For the first half of my career, I worked in a traditional corporate law firm, working with big and small companies alike, helping businesses purchase and sell, raising millions of dollars, and taking companies public.
But the whole time I worked in that firm, I kept asking myself:
Why can’t we offer these services for cheaper or on a flat-fee basis?
Why do we nickel and dime clients for every minute of our time?
Why aren’t we more generous with information and resources to give small businesses a better shot at succeeding?
And that’s how, in 2014, Not Your Father’s Lawyer was born. And for the past 6 years, I have helped hundreds of creative businesses like yours get and stay #legallylegit.
The same information that thousands of clients have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in the last 11 years to get is here in this guide for a limited time for just $97.
The Creative’s Guide to a #LegallyLegit Business is fantastic! Beautiful, easy to understand and apply, and so valuable!
