Hey, I am Grant,
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.
I'm a lawyer, but I'm also a creative and an entrepreneur. When I couldn’t find my dream law firm to work for, I set out to make my own from scratch to help my creative friends.
Over the past decade, I’ve helped over one thousand designers, coaches, planners, influencers, start-ups, and other creatives get their legal together. And along the way, my wife and I launched an apothecary, a nature school, a podcast, a few e-courses, and an investor-backed AI-startup — so we are right there in the trenches with you.
From one creative entrepreneur to another: you've got this.
"When I decided to go all in on my creative business, building a sound legal foundation was a top priority — but I struggled to find a great resource. The Framework Law Group has been a godsend. Grant has this incredible ability to cut through the chaos and make everything simple, clear, and doable: three words I never thought I'd use when talking about business legal. I can't recommend his support enough!"

How We Work
Whether you are just getting started or need some fresh 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 about 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.
Clients
Our clients are our peers. A few include:
“Being an accidental artist and creative entrepreneur, I was in NO way prepared for all of the legal hurdles and jargon I'd have to deal with as a business owner. I've worked with Grant now for over 6 years, and he's absolutely saved my business. His way of explaining his process, guiding me in decision making and his knowledge of what my specific business needs are has been extremely reassuring and empowering. Highly recommend his services and courses to any small business owner out there!”
