The Law Academy
for creative entrepreneurs
Simple knowledge, actionable tools, and helpful guidance to give your dream business a solid legal foundation — and make your life a lot easier.
Business legal simplified to help your creativity thrive.
Legal is usually the last thing you want to deal with. And for good reason: it can feel complicated, inaccessible, and totally overwhelming.
Maybe you have no idea where to start with getting your business registered.
Or you feel shaky about the contract template you've pieced together off the internet.
Or you're not sure how to protect your creative content, and that's keeping you from growing.
The Free Jumpstart
If you have no idea where to begin (or feel like there are definitely some missing pieces in what you've done so far), this free video guide will give you clarity in about 16 minutes. Think of it as a gentle crash course on the three essential steps:
-
Learn the bare-minimum legal you need to register your business and operate. Plus, discover the perks of LLCs and corporations to help you decide what's best for you.
-
Learn what to trademark, what to copyright, and how to protect all of your valuable intellectual property: your brand, creative content, valuable secrets, and yourself.
-
Learn what contracts you need on hand for your day-to-day activities, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel every time you have a new customer, client, contractor, or employee.
Hey, I am Grant,
I'm a lawyer, but I'm also a creative and an entrepreneur. I became a lawyer to help my creative friends, and when I couldn’t find my dream law firm to work for, I set out to make my own from scratch. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to start your own business, and legal is probably the last thing you want to deal with.
I am here to bridge the gap and make your entrepreneur life easier. I’ve helped over one thousand designers, coaches, planners, influencers, start-ups, and other creatives get their legal together, and here I have distilled my wisdom into simple courses and offerings to help you check business legal off your to-do list.
From one creative entrepreneur to another: you've got this.
The Framework Legal Guide.
Every founder should have a basic understanding of their legal landscape. This is your essential legal guide and consultation that will empower you to avoid common pitfalls and make smarter day-to-day choices while you launch and grow your business.
"When I decided to go all in on my creative business, building a sound legal foundation was a top priority — but I struggled to find a great resource. The Framework Law Academy has been a godsend. Grant has this incredible ability to cut through the chaos and make everything simple, clear, and doable: three words I never thought I'd use when talking about business legal. I can't recommend his videos, templates, and overall approach enough!"
Cate Scott Campbell — Founder, Ecstatic Voice
The Contracts Bundle
You need the right contracts to safely engage with customers, clients, workers, and partners. Our contracts bundle is priced like a template shop, but with actual custom 1:1 support. We’ll set up a call to chat through your business, confirm which contracts you need, and then we’ll prep and deliver them for you with instructions how to use them.
“Being an accidental artist and creative entrepreneur, I was in NO way prepared for all of the legal hurdles and jargon I'd have to deal with as a business owner. I've worked with Grant now for over 6 years, and he's absolutely saved my business. His way of explaining his process, guiding me in decision making and his knowledge of what my specific business needs are has been extremely reassuring and empowering. Highly recommend his services and courses to any small business owner out there!”
