The firm is certified by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council as a woman owned business, and currently 100% of its lawyers and staff are women. Stacy and her team pride themselves on helping established businesses and entrepreneurs build, grow and enforce their IP assets by providing efficient, clear and business-minded legal advice, on par with much larger firms.
