Are you clear on what qualifies as defamation? It's a term that gets thrown around a lot in the entrepreneurial space, but today on The Legalpreneur, I am breaking down the five criteria to prove a defamation case. I clearly define what qualifies as defamation and break down common misconceptions about negative statements.The main criteria of defamation are whether or not the statement can be proven as true or false and if it is made public. People are allowed to have negative opinions about you and your business, so not every rude comment calls for legal action. Sometimes words travel farther than people intend, but everyone is still responsible for public statements made. I break down one of the most disputed criteria for defamation…fault. With social media, it is easy to post something, but once you do, the ripple effect can reach further than you intended. I am here to tell you that you can still hold the original person responsible if they were the catalyst for your public defamation. Each criterion is nuanced and case-specific. if you suspect you are a victim of defamation, be sure to enlist an attorney to see if you have a civil case. As always, this is something that we at The Legalprenur can assist you with, so be sure to check out our membership plans to see if we can help you with your legal needs!If you want to understand what qualifies as defamation, listen now!Key Takeaways:[0:30] Filing a civil claim for defamation [1:40] What is slander vs liable [2:00] Defamation cannot be an opinion[3:00] It must be a provable true or false statement[3:35] Statements must be in the public domain [4:29] To be legitimate, you must be clearly identified in the statement [6:25] It must have a negative impact on your public reputation [7:20] You have to be able to prove that the statement is demonstrably false [9:10] Getting clear about who is actually at fault THE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS HERE!Click this link to buy it now: AmazonGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?

Do you have clarity on why you want to accomplish your goals? Today on The Legalpreneur, I want to inspire you to evaluate your goals, in order to understand your deeper motivations and decide if the life you're leading is the life you want. As we enter a new chapter of The Legalpreneur, I am thinking a lot about why I started this project. My goal is to sell The Legalpreneur for a billion dollars, so I can start a venture capital fund for underrepresented minorities. The dream is bigger than the money, and the billion-dollar valuation is only because I know this business will change the legal industry forever. The money is great, but staying focused on the mission behind the money is what lights my soul on fire.I have never been more financially unstable, but this has also been the most abundant time of my life! You can create a life that makes you happy! Get to know yourself and dig deep into why you're doing what you're doing. No matter what you want to accomplish in life, be sure to evaluate the deeper meaning behind your desire, so you don't build a life or a business that is unfulfilling.

Are you feeling burnt out? Today on The Legalpreneur, I welcome our longstanding member, Nicole Bensen, to discuss burnout, retreats, and mindfulness training.

While working at a corporate firm, Andrea noticed a gap in the legal industry – no one was catering to the small, innovative start-up brands dominating her social media feeds. As a serial entrepreneur, she knew firsthand the importance of building a business with a solid legal foundation. However, she also knew that many new businesses simply did not have the funds.

Is your information private? Today, on The Legalpreneur, I am sharing simple solutions to keep you and your information anonymous. Privacy is important, and your information is usually just a google search away, but there are steps you can take to keep your personal data off the public record.Start by looking up your name on google, if you have already filed any legal documents for your business with your personal information, that is a public record. You can remedy this by transferring the paperwork into the business name. For those who are in the beginning phases of registering your business, simply using a virtual address or any address that is not your own is a simple way to keep your personal information off the public record. If you value your privacy, you can enlist The Legalpreneur to file anonymously on your behalf. We now offer a baseline membership to help entrepreneurs start their businesses with the guidance of a competent attorney who can help you navigate the complexities of privacy protection.

We are close to reaching our goal of 2-2.5 million dollars in funding! It is exciting to reach our fundraising goals, so today on The Legalpreneur, I am sharing my strategy for building venture capitalist relationships. Traditionally, venture capitalism was a closed community. You could only meet investors by knowing someone who could introduce you. However, things are changing, and a new class of venture capitalists is emerging. In every major city, there is a startup community that you can join to ensure you get in the room with the right people. The Legalpreneur fundraising journey was launched after a pitch competition exposed me to a group of potential investors, which led to many more opportunities. Remember that you are in the business of relationships, so positioning yourself within the investment community is a vital part of fundraising for your startup. Every interaction has the potential to change the financial trajectory of your startup!If you want to learn how to position yourself and your business for financial success, listen now!Key Takeaways:[3:00] Venture capitalist opportunities [5:00] The San Antonio pitch competition[6:00] Getting involved with your city's startup community [7:00] Turning down the Capital Factory[8:00] How one event can introduce you to investors and opportunities [10:00] You are in the business of relationshipsTHE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS HERE!Click this link to buy it now: AmazonGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?

Do you need an operations manager/ best friend for your business? Today on the Legalpreneur, I welcome back our operations manager, Kayla Bandy to chat about her role at the firm. Kayla is the one who brings my ideas to life and makes it all happen! She details what it takes to be an effective operations manager, and how she balances business, friendship, and bowling!Yes, bowling! Outside of The Legalpreneur, Kayla is a professional bowler and coach. After competing in her first bowling tournament Kayla was scouted for the jr USA team, which propelled her into the national bowling arena. The skills she learned throughout her career have contributed to her success at The Legalpreneur. Kayla evolved into her role as operations manager after managing the affiliate program. As The Legalpreneur grew, so did our need for an organized operations manager who could uphold the vision of the company. We discuss how small businesses can assess talent in order to develop positions that grow with the strengths of each individual employee.

Still not convinced that you need a trademark? Today on The Legalpreneur, I list my top 5 benefits that are exclusively available to federal trademark holders! Some basic protections are available without a trademark, such as the use of the ™ symbol, but obtaining a trademark ensures comprehensive protection of your brand on all fronts. Filing for a trademark currently takes about 13 months to fully process, but it is an investment that pays off. Once your trademark becomes public knowledge the courts generally rule in your favor, since it is difficult for infringers to feign ignorance of your trademark. Having that public record would classify these violations as willful infringement, which means additional damages and attorney fees are awarded, simply because of your federal trademark!You can also count on customs agents to enforce your trademark. They will stop unauthorized products from leaving or entering the country, which allows you to maintain better control of your intellectual property. These safeguards are only available once you have secured your federal trademark. It is time-consuming and expensive, but the cost of operating your business without a trademark is guaranteed to be much steeper. Don't wait, and start your application today!Key Takeaways:[2:00] Securing the use of the R-Circle symbol [2:50] Registering with customs to stop trademark infringements [4:00] Submitting online takedowns [6:00] Obtaining a domain name that is in use [7:15] Additional damages and attorney fees from willful infringement [8:25] Trademarks take an average of 13 months to process THE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS HERE!Click this link to buy it now: AmazonGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?

Entrepreneurs are inherently persistent, but knowing when to take a break will help you in the long run!

Do you know your Legalpreneur history? Today is a special episode with my best friend and Chief Operating Officer, Kayla Bandy! She has witnessed my ups, downs, and everything in between. Her insight into the inception of The Legalpreneur makes her the perfect host for today's episode, as she asks me hard-hitting questions about life, love, and entrepreneurship. Friendship and business can mix, and I believe our tendency to over-communicate has contributed to the success of The Legalpreneur.

Today, Kayla is still coaching me through every haphazard idea I have for The Legalpreneur.We take a trip down memory lane and laugh about the evolution of my entrepreneurial journey.

Many local businesses struggle to find legal advice for their unique situation, so today on The Legalpreneur Podcast, I take you step by step through the process of legally starting your local business and break down how to safeguard yourself against lawsuits. The requirements for a local business are different than what is required of a national online brand. First, you need to establish if you need local or federal protection. To qualify for a federal LLC you must be doing business in multiple states, which in most cases is beyond the scope of a local business. Generally, a Local business only needs local protection. Once you've determined the geographical range of your business, check in with your local authorities to determine the requirements in your area. Details as small as your local return policies can make you vulnerable to a potential lawsuit. You can avoid these common mistakes with a Legalpreneur membership that will give you all access to an attorney who can help you file your LLC, DBA, and everything you need to legally protect your local business!Key Takeaways:[1:30] Local businesses are in-person services or traditional brick-and-mortar business[3:23] You do not need to incorporate your local business, the best option is an LLC [3:45] Deciphering if you need a DBA and an LLC for your local business[4:25] Any business website needs a privacy policy and terms of conditions[5:30] You can print the terms of conditions on the customer receipt[6:11] Verify what the return policy of your state is before you state no returns[7:25] Check with your county and state for the proper licenses [9:00] To qualify for a federal trademark you need to be doing business in multiple states[10:45] The Legalpreneur membership gets access to an attorney who can file for youTHE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS HERE!Click this link to buy it now: AmazonGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?

The default path for entrepreneurship is usually starting a small business, but did you know that building a startup is a viable alternative? Today on The Legalpreneur Podcast, I highlight the key differences between a small business and a startup, so you can decide which model fits your goals. Scale is the main distinction between these business models; small businesses remain small while startups are designed for growth. If your goal is to be self-employed and develop a steady revenue stream, then starting a small business could be the right path for you. Small business owners do not need to cater to investors and are thus free to operate in niche industries that otherwise would not attract funding as a startup. Building a startup is rooted in relationships because, unlike a small business, you receive funding from venture capitalists and investors who help grow your company. Generally, investors are only interested in billion-dollar industries, so you must fill a void in an already well-developed market. If you do successfully build your startup, attract investors and sell your company, you can expect a much bigger financial payout than you could achieve with a small business. Whichever entrepreneurial path you take, your potential is only limited by what you believe you can achieve. Before I started The Legalpreneur, I did not know that building a startup was attainable to someone like myself. However, I've since learned that the only difference between you and a business owner or a startup CEO is daring to start!If you want to learn what it takes to build a small business or a startup, listen now! Key Takeaways:[1:00] Small businesses stay small and startups are designed for growth[2:00] The CEO of any startup is in the business of relationships [4:00] A seed round is typically the first round of funding in your startup[5:00] Venture capitalists are essentially your boss when they fund your startup[6:00] Lowering your turn rate by teaching clients the value of your service[7:00] Investors will not talk to you if your market size is less than a billionTHE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS HERE!Click this link to buy it now: AmazonGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?

Today on The Legalpreneur, I outline the key differences between a copyright and a trademark. If you are seeking federal protection for your brand then you must register it as a trademark whilst your creative work itself is, in most cases, inherently protected, assuming that it is unique.The internet makes it easy for individuals to steal copyrighted material but a DMCA takedown is a legitimate reprisal for creators who aren't ready to hire an attorney. Generally, platforms are swift to take down content that has been flagged for copyright infringement but if the violator counters, you may need to enlist an attorney and take them to court. Education is the first phase of protection and in this episode you will learn exactly how you can protect your work from copyright infringement.Key Takeaways:[0:50] If you are repeatedly creating something it is most likely requires a copyright[1:40] The brand name is your trademark but what you create with that brand is copyright[2:10] Creative work is often inherently federally protected, without registration, if it is unique [2:42] You must register a trademark in order to receive federal protection[4:58] The DMCA takedown allows small creators to police their work online without an attorney[6:20] If copyrighted material isn't removed after a DMCA form is filed, you can then sue[7:30] False counter notices open violators up to copyright infringement and perjury[8:10] The Legalpreneur offers unlimited copyright takedowns servicesTHE LEGALPRENEUR BOOK IS FINALLY HERE!It's available at the following online retailers:AmazonBarnes & NobleWalmartGet Legally Protected!Want to legally protect your business without the seemingly over-complicated approach?

Today on The Legalpreneur Podcast, I am clearing up some confusion around what defines a business owner. Unfortunately, many freelancers and entrepreneurs are operating without the legal protection they deserve, simply because they aren't aware of their status as a business owner.If you are working towards earning income from the goods or services you provide then you are characterized as a business owner. Even if you haven't officially launched a company or you aren't making money from your enterprise yet; it is the pursuit of profit that legitimizes you. In this episode, I help you determine if you are a business owner and what legal steps you should take to protect yourself in your venture.

Today on The Legalpreneur Podcast, I am guiding you through common practices to deal with copyright or trademark infringement. I review the difference between a cease and desist letter versus a demand letter. Before you send a cease and desist letter, I encourage you to evaluate the alternatives. As an attorney, my goal is to inform you of all your options so you can resolve your issue in a way that suits your individual needs.It is important to understand that many people don't realize they are infringing. So, If you are looking to resolve an issue in the most cost effective manner, it benefits you to personally reach out and educate a violator before paying an attorney to do so. More often, these issues can be resolved without getting the courts or an attorney involved. In instances, where you may need to be more forceful, The Legalpreneur membership is a great tool that allows you to involve an attorney early on. Most businesses don't want to go to court, simply, having a Legalpreneur attorney on your side can help you resolve any issue efficiently and cost effectively. In this episode you will learn everything you need to know to make the right decision for you and your business. Key Takeaways:[1:40] Consider your other options before sending a cease and desist letter[2:30] The difference between a cease and desist verses a demand letter[3:40] Personally reach out and educate before sending a cease and desist letter[5:56] Requirements for a copyright takedown or a trademark takedown[7:00] The DMCA relieves 3rd party hosts of liability for user's individual infringements [8:10] As a last resort, you can submit a takedown without reaching an attorney [9:20] You must have the registration for a trademark takedown but not for copyright[9:30] When you should reach out to an attorney to send a letter[10:20] Legalpreneur membership allows you to CC our attorneys on all communication[11:48] Demand letters are most effective for recovering nonpayments Pre-Order Legalpreneur the book here to receive: Master class with Andrea, Legal Protection Playbook, and a Master Class Series with Experts.

Every business should have legal protection from the beginning rather than waiting for their business to blow up. In this episode, host Michelle Thames speaks with Legalpreneur Andrea Sager about the legal side of running a small business and what resources entrepreneurs can benefit from. Andrea Sager is the CEO and founder of Legalpreneur, a legal tech startup that focuses on offering affordable legal services to businesses of all sizes. While working at a corporate firm, Andrea noticed a gap in the legal industry – no one was catering to the small, innovative start-up brands dominating her social media feeds. She knew many new businesses do not have the funds for legal advice, so she developed Legalpreneur because legal services should be accessible to everyone. ——The Legalpreneur bookBook a growth and marketing clarity call with MichelleStart your own Stan StoreVisit My Stan StoreFollow Michelle on InstagramJoin The Marketing Minute - We send weekly marketing and online business tips you can use!Leave a review for Social Media Decoded Support the show
