194 -Trademarks, contacts & your legals made easy with Riz from Foundd Legal

Riz McDonald is a lawyer with over 16 years of experience, and after working many years as both a lawyer and as the founder of an ecommerce business of her own, she discovered that there were a huge number of amazing designers, creatives and fellow entrepreneurs out there who had fantastic ideas and business models, but had no access to the legal ins and outs that are imperative to running a fully legitimate, successful and protected business. Riz was inspired to start Foundd Legal as a way to make all of that boring, scary, overwhelming legal stuff both accessible and affordable for entrepreneurs, creatives and designers, so they can have the best shot possible of creating a legal, lucrative, kick-arse brand and business. Riz is passionate about providing practical tips, tricks and legal resources - minus the legalese and billable hourly rate. Riz is more than a virtual law firm as she has experience launching and scaling a successful e-commerce business and has an intimate knowledge of what it takes to grow and scale an online business on a shoestring budget. Our conversation covers:

The legal foundations all business owners need to have in place
How your mindset can affect your legal decisions
Business Partnerships & Collaborations
What you need to know about Copyright laws
Protecting your intellectual property
Trademarking your name - when you need to think about trademarking
