A lot of attorneys pull off the suit look; it’s certainly possible. Wearing a suit just isn’t “me.” Even while in law school in New York I remember thinking to myself that I didn’t want to work for a firm that would require me to wear a suit every day (and if that meant foregoing the coveted “big firm” route, so be it).
So I took a different route. I worked in-house at CMT (Country Music Television) almost directly out of law school, sharpening my contracts skills. After that, I worked for 5+ years at a small Nashville intellectual property and entertainment law firm where, yes, I sometimes wore a suit. Litigation will do that to you.
Since August 2015, though, I’ve been wearing a different uniform: Owner and Attorney at Spear IP. And now I can’t imagine it any other way. My clients understand; many are entrepreneurs or small business owners themselves and thrive in the business owner seat.
Speaking of clients, people in Nashville, Detroit, and across the country often contact Spear IP feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, unprotected, or otherwise insecure about their intellectual property and related business contracts. Helping creative professionals and businesses feel prepared, confident, and at ease when it comes to IP, contracts, and related processes is the reason why I do what I do.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unprotected when it comes to your IP, you’re looking for peace of mind and the freedom to be creative without IP or contractual legal issues looming over your head, and you prefer jeans over suits, give Spear IP a call.
