Confused about the legal side of your business? In this episode, discover the exact contracts, policies, and protections every entrepreneur needs to safeguard their brand and ideas. 


If you’ve ever pushed legal tasks to the bottom of your to-do list because they felt overwhelming or expensive, this conversation will change that. 


I’m joined by Samantha Bradshaw, a small business and intellectual property lawyer, who helps creative entrepreneurs protect their work without stress. As the founder of InLine Legal, she specializes in keeping entrepreneurs out of the courtroom and confidently focused on growth. 


We’re breaking down the legal essentials for small business owners so you can confidently protect your brand, ideas, and income. 


In this episode, you’ll learn: 

  • The contracts every entrepreneur should have in place (even with contractors)
  • Why increasing your visibility also increases legal risk — and how to prepare
  • The 3 key types of intellectual property: copyright, trademark, and patents
  • What your website privacy policy really needs to cover (especially with international clients)
  • Smart strategies for trademarking your brand and when it makes sense to invest
  • Why legal protection is actually an act of self-trust and long-term sustainability


You don’t need to become a lawyer to run a successful business — but you do need the right protections in place. This episode gives you the clarity and tools to start today.
