The Wise Owl Academy is the place for knowledge-hungry entrepreneurs to get education about the legal aspects of starting and running a small business!
You might ask yourself: “What would I learn in a legally focused membership?”
- The difference between an LLC and a Corporation and which one might be right for your business
- What you need to include in a contract. Or whether you really need one at all?
- How to proactively avoid being sued.
- Whether you should hire an independent contractor or an employee. And what is involved in either case?
- When (or IF) you should file to register your business name, logo, or tagline for trademark protection.
- How to protect your copyright in your blog posts.
- The rules around safely and legally using other people’s content (images, graphics, writing).
- Other legal risks you might be facing that you don’t even know about!
The Wise Owl Academy has the answers to these questions and so many more!

Is membership in The Wise Owl Academy right for me?

- want to know that your business is legally compliant.
- desire to proactively protect yourself and your business.
- enjoy learning new things in a fun and easy format.
- appreciate the value of working with and learning from an attorney with 35+ years of experience.
The Wise Owl Academy membership IS NOT for you if you:

- subscribe to the philosophy that ignorance is bliss.
- believe that all lawyers are inherently evil people chasing the almighty buck.
Praise for The Wise Owl Academy
The Wise Owl Academy is giving me lots of legal information about topics I need to know as an entrepreneur. It also provides a place for questions and answers that come up as needed. Cheri is knowledgeable and thorough in the answers she gives and in the material that she provides. I recommend this program to business owners who want to understand and proactively address legal risks to their businesses.

Before working with Cheri, I had no idea what my legal exposure was for email marketing, website visitors, and many other issues. The courses in The Wise Owl Academy took me step-by-step through understanding it all easily. I love attending Cheri’s office hours because simply by showing up I learn. If you want to stop wondering if you are making the correct basic legal decisions in your business, join The Wise Owl Academy!
