About This Episode

Taylor Tieman’s Background

Taylor Tieman is a lawyer who runs her own firm, Legalmiga Law PC, specializing in transactional law, entertainment, and intellectual property (IP) work. Taylor's decision to start her own firm stemmed from her passion for these specific areas of law and the challenges she faced in finding a job in those competitive fields after law school. Despite initial skepticism from her family, Taylor pursued her dream of creating a unique law firm that offers approachable legal services to business owners. She has a strong focus on trademark law, offering services to clients all over the country, with a particular emphasis on assisting BIPOC-owned and Latino-owned businesses.

“I think my law school is like, I love my law school. I love law school in general, aside from like, obviously, it's really hard work and very stressful. But I think There's not a ton of emphasis on all of the things you can do with a law degree," shares Taylor Tieman on You Are A Lawyer.

Taylor's innovative approach to legal services, including the Legalmiga membership and template library, showcases her commitment to providing accessible and affordable legal solutions to a diverse range of clients. Her bold and colorful branding, coupled with her dedication to educating and empowering business owners, sets her apart in the legal industry.

Why Law School

Taylor expressed her passion for transactional law, entertainment, and intellectual property (IP) during her time in law school. Despite facing challenges in finding a job in these competitive fields post-graduation, Taylor was determined to pursue her dream. She mentioned, "I truthfully was wanting to do like transactional law, entertainment, IP type of law, like all throughout law school." This quote highlights Taylor's clear vision and determination to work in a specific area of law, which ultimately led her to pursue a legal career.

"I never wanted to start my own firm... I think she was like, how are you going to do this," reflects Taylor Tieman on Episode 156 of You Are a Lawyer.

Taylor's experience in law school and her journey to starting her own law firm reflect her resilience and innovative approach to the legal profession. Despite initial doubts from her family and friends, Taylor took a bold step in starting her own firm to focus on the areas of law she was passionate about.

What Can You Do with a Law Degree

Taylor shared the importance of staying curious and exploring the diverse opportunities available. She highlighted the fact that there are more lawyers running solo practices than commonly perceived, showcasing the flexibility and autonomy that comes with creating your own path in the legal field.

“There's not a ton of emphasis on all of the things you can do with a law degree. People say you get a law degree and there are so many things you can do. But if we don't see the things you can do, it's hard to kind of picture that for yourself," reflects Taylor Tieman on Episode 156 of You Are a Lawyer.

Taylor's journey from civil litigation to starting her own firm specializing in transactional law, entertainment, and intellectual property demonstrates the potential for lawyers to carve out unique niches and cater to specific client needs. Her innovative approach, such as offering subscription-based legal services and creating a template library for affordable legal solutions, showcases the entrepreneurial spirit that can be harnessed with a law degree. Taylor's success in building Legalmiga Law PC and providing accessible legal services through her membership program and template library serves as a testament to the creativity and adaptability that individuals with a law degree can leverage to make a meaningful impact.

Lawyer Side Hustles

The Legalmiga Library is a template educational library aimed at providing affordable legal resources to business owners. Taylor recognized the need for a middle ground solution for clients who couldn't afford custom legal services but still required essential legal documents. The library offers attorney-drafted templates that allow business owners to access necessary contracts and agreements at a lower cost than custom drafting. By creating the Legalmiga Library, Taylor has not only addressed the access to justice gap but also demonstrated a proactive approach to serving a wider range of clients who may not have the budget for traditional legal services.

“There's more people running solo practices than I think we are thinking about when we're in law school,” shares Taylor Tieman in Episode 156 of You Are a Lawyer.

Taylor's journey from civil litigation to starting her own firm specializing in transactional law and intellectual property showcases the possibilities for lawyers to carve out unique niches. Taylor's success in creating Legalmiga Law PC and offering subscription-based legal services and template libraries exemplifies how lawyers can blend their legal skills with entrepreneurship to build successful side ventures.
