I’m so excited! Most of you know, or should know, of Carolyn E. Wright, aka PhotoAttorney.com. Carolyn has been an IP attorney and a supporter of photographers’ rights for years. Her firm represents creative professionals, particularly photographers, and she has a great attitude about how to help her clients. Well, Carolyn and I have entered into a working relationship, and I think it’s a great collaboration!
As most of you are aware, I graduated law school in December and took the California Bar at the end of last month. However, I won’t get the results for months and, until I pass and get sworn in, I’m not a lawyer. I can’t take on legal clients or offer legal advice. I’m just a well-educated lay person. However, I can do some legally-related work, under the proper supervision of a licensed attorney. So, in this new relationship, I will be helping Carolyn out with some of the tasks related to her representation of her clients. It’s a great match, I think.
This does not mean I won’t be doing my usual consulting work–I will definitely be continuing that, don’t worry. Instead, in a part-time capacity, I will be working with Carolyn. I look forward to helping her (and her colleagues) help her clients and to learning more about effective representation from her.
Yah!! You are well on your way. Congratulations Leslie.
Sounds like fun, Leslie – but more importantly, a good step to a valuable powerhouse for our colleagues in these trying times. Very best of luck!
I see only good things for the photographic community coming from this partnership. Congratulations.
Sounds like a marriage* made in heaven!
*of the professional sort.
Congratulations Leslie! The creative professional industry needs legally informed individuals like you and Carolyn – this definitely sounds like a dynamic duo and a great match. Best of luck to you both in your collaboration.
