THE SERVICES
Empowering Entrepreneurs to Thrive by Equipping Business Owners with the Tools to Succeed.
Entrepreneurs and Business Owners
Hughley Smith Law, PC is a boutique law firm caters to that creatives and small businesses. We focus on business strategy and protection, along with intellectual property, specifically copyrights and trademarks.
As principal attorney for the firm, I started Hughley Smith Law to provide business owners with a strong legal foundation that would allow for maximized growth and generational impact. As I explain to clients, failing establish a strong foundation and handle legal matters on the front end to ensure you are starting off (or continuing) on the right foot usually ends up costing you a lot more later on the back end. Let my team help you create and strengthen your foundation. Because what’s the point of building a 7-figure brand if you’re not going to protect it.
DIY Contract Support and Education
I get it. While hiring an experienced lawyer is always the best route, it’s not always an option for businesses on the path to becoming established or with a limited legal budget. The Legal Pad has your back with customizable, industry-specific contract templates, workshops, and other resources for those who still want to protect their businesses with quality, attorney-drafted documents. Our contracts are written with lots of legal know-how and only a little bit of jargon, so you can customize based upon your unique needs and you know exactly what you’re getting yourself into and out of. Because you always want to get it in writing.
Copyright Education for Legal Professionals
Are you an attorney who is ready to add a new area of emphasis to your practice? Copy Curious was created with you in mind. It’s a course for legal practitioners, taught by practicing legal professionals with the know-how and experience to help you navigate and learn the basics of copyright law. It covers the fundamentals of copyright law in the abstract, but also dives into the more practical aspects that affect your ability to incorporate copyright law into your practice.
Speaker
When you’re hosting your retreat or conference, you want to empower your audience. And certainly, you want to inspire them, leaving them ready to move forward. But, just as importantly, you want to educate.
That’s where I come in. Your audience will walk away with clarity in how to protect their businesses and feeling empowered to take steps to strengthen their brands.
You walk away with attendees raving about learning about actual mechanisms for protection that they can implement, not just theoretical or conceptual tidbits that leave them wondering “what next?”
It’s a win-win-win.
