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 — but it really doesn’t have to be that hard.


Over the last decade I’ve helped over one thousand designers, coaches, planners, influencers, start-ups, and other creatives get their legal together, and I have also launched my own podcast, e-course, tech start-up, and retail shop along the way. So, I am proudly in the trenches with you, bridging the gap between creative entrepreneurship and legal to help make your business journey a lot easier.

“Framework has been great to work with! The best part for us is that Grant understands the legal needs of creative businesses. When we were first setting up our legal structure, I was concerned that it would be difficult to find a good firm to help us with the process. However, Grant made the experience so simple and stress free. He is personable and efficient. We are very grateful!”

How We Work

Whether you are just getting started or need some extra legal support, here are the next steps:

Consultation

First, we’ll set up a complimentary call to chat through your business and make a plan for your legal. We’ll quote all projects in advance, including a la carte and packaged options.

Delivery

Once we confirm a plan, typically we can turn projects around within 1-2 weeks depending what is needed. From there, you can reach out when you need help again, or join our Membership for ongoing support.

“Knowing that my IP is protected, and that I have my legal needs met has allowed for so much more creative and logistical freedom with my work. I would recommend Grant to anyone who might be seeking more knowledge and self-empowerment around any of these areas.”

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 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.

"We can’t imagine operating without Framework in our corner. They are the fifth Beatle in IDOL. Navigating the legal considerations when creative meets business is a ballet, but Framework’s nuanced and practical guidance brings the joy of creativity back to the forefront. Instead of guardrails, we build frameworks."
