063: Legal Assistance Supports Profitability WITH JAMIE LIEBERMAN

Jamie Lieberman joins the podcast today. Jamie is a lawyer and founder of Hashtag Legal. Jamie describes her firm as not only your lawyer, but a partner in your business. I love that description. Her firm focuses on helping you maximize your profit while protecting your assets. And who can’t get behind that!  

Jamie and I met at Podcast Movement this summer. And as you can hear me share with Jamie in our discussion – she was so approachable. Honestly, after a quick meeting, I was a little shocked that she was an attorney. Not because she was not professional – quite the opposite. She was professional and approachable – and that is not always expected from the legal profession.  

Topics Mentioned:

• Protection
• Contracts
• Legal entity
• Brand name

Thoughts from Jamie:

• Finding the right person who makes it easy, is the one to go with.
• I knew I needed client contact.
• I realized there was a huge gap in the industry.
• I love it because I live my clients.
• You have to put your time in.
• I really think you should stretch yourself and try new things.
• The thing about business is that every business is unique.
• When you don’t form an entity, you potentially leave yourself open for a liability personally.
• When you get the idea to start a business, form the business (legally) immediately.
• There is a difference between a business name and an actual trade name.
• Trademark is one area I do not recommend DIY.
• Think about how you feel when you are talking to your lawyer.
