This week on All Things Recruiting, I’m joined by the brilliant Sarah Gilliland—founding attorney of Rising Brand Legal and creator of The Legal Shoppe. Today, we’re talking about something every recruiting entrepreneur needs to hear: how to legally protect the business you’ve worked so hard to build. If you’ve been putting off the legal stuff, this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.

With 20+ years in the legal space, Sarah’s passionate about helping small business owners feel confident and protected. She’s an entrepreneur first, which means she gets it, and she makes the legal side of business feel clear and doable.

In our conversation, we dive into the key legal essentials every recruiting business should have in place, especially if you’re just starting out or preparing to scale. Sarah shares practical insights on contracts, business structures, trademarks, and why it’s crucial to have clear agreements, even when you’re working with friends. We also get into hot-button topics like non-competes, how state laws play a role, and what recruiters should know about using AI when creating content.
