Hi! I'm Girija B. Patel
I’ve been your Legal BFF for years at GBPLaw, and now, I’m Your Contract Buddy, too. My templates were created with creatives in mind. They’ll help you reach new heights in your business!!!
I Know What Creatives Need
Professional Goals, But Family First
My legal career began in 2006 when I served as a prosecutor in Harris County, Texas. From there, I started my law practice, but took time off to be with my two kids. Being a mom is one of my greatest gifts! They keep me smiling!
Enjoys Many Creative Outlets
During this time off, I chaired galas, planned large events, assisted in events and marketing for my husband's jewelry business, sat on various charitable boards, and started an online forum called City Tattler. (Phew! That's a lot!)
A Strong Creative Community
Through those ventures, I encountered the amazing creative community. That's YOU! I also realized that through my different networks and passions outside of law, I was already immersed in the creative industry myself!
It’s those deep interactions that provided the strong understanding I have of the needs of this industry. And I knew I wanted to share my knowledge and expertise with them. In 2016, I started exploring law in the creative industry, start up industry, and small business world. In 2018, I rebranded and launched my legal services business. And now in 2020, I am granting creatives even easier access to the legal documents they need the most.
”Protecting your work, your business, and your intellectual property is at the core of all I do.”
Making Law Understandable
As entrepreneurs, we want to leave a legacy behind for our children and community. This is achieved by establishing and maintaining a solid legal foundation that will thrive during all seasons of growth and growing pains.
”I hope these templates give you the confidence in the business agreements you arrange so you can fully share your passion and talents with others.”
I absolutely adore the creative entrepreneur community that has so lovingly welcomed me. Your hard work and creative energy inspires me daily.
Through videos, posts, and free resources, I break down these intimidating business law topics into understandable bits, implementable tasks, and now, downloadable, legally-sound templates.
Every day, I work with creative entrepreneurs, budding business owners, and high-level established executives to provide legal solutions for business law and intellectual property. This includes business formation, sales contracts, partnership agreements, kickstarter advice, copyrights and trademarks, and much more.
If that sounds like something you need, let’s chat! You can book a call with my through my legal services website here. Please reach out if you have questions.
