About This Episode

Andrea Sager moves at her own pace. The day after graduating from college, Andrea became an Army officer and was married. After thrift shopping with her husband, Andrea turned this relatively small act into a thriving Poshmark store then her own clothing website, and ultimately, a physical retail store. In law school, between studying, giving keynote speeches at Poshmark conferences, and living as a new mother and wife, Andrea would fly to California to buy wholesale merchandise for her clothing store.

After passing the bar exam and participating in the minutiae of being a new associate, Andrea decided to leave Big Law and use her experience to support small business owners. Andrea sold her retail store, moved to Houston, Texas, and opened the Andrea Sager Law Firm in 2018.

Through her virtual law firm, Andrea offers legal subscriptions to business owners; a service that provides all-access representation to her clients. In the last two years, Andrea has become the go-to attorney for entrepreneurs, protecting everything from their brand names to their courses and blog posts.

In 2020, Andrea created the Legalprenuer podcast. On this podcast, Andrea speaks with small business owners about the legal issues they have faced and Andrea shares legal necessities for small business owners.

Andrea is a licensed attorney in the state of Kentucky.
