SERVICES

 It’s time to be legally enlightened!

I believe that a solid business foundation is central to becoming a confident creative. Well-rooted principles and clear-cut underpinnings provide peace of mind and a sense of calm that allows you to focus your artistic intentions. 

Feeling overwhelmed about where to even begin, or wondering if your existing groundwork is guaranteed? 

Don’t let the complexities of the legal system keep you from conquering your creativity.

truth:

I’m a lawyer for artists and creatives because I know law and art.

Back in 2010, counsel for creatives was pretty much nonexistent. I spent much of my humble beginnings flying solo when it came to contracts and I knew that had to change. So, I became an artist and attorney.

Today, I continue to photograph weddings under my legally savvy and sound business, while helping others to achieve the same level of success in their own enterprise. 

Because when I became a photographer ten years ago, legal guidance came from Google.

I know what it feels like to figure this out on your own...

After working with Magi you’ll be...

Are you ready for legal enlightenment?

without Magi's thorough contracts. As I move into a more seasoned time in my career, I know how important it is to be legally covered for ALL the things that you can encounter when working with clients, and having peace of mind knowing that I'm protected helps me sleep at night. I confidently send my contracts out now and I know they don't miss a beat, AND I know that it protects my interests and my clients. The contracts were also so easy to customize to my specific business needs, and I hope all creatives invest in peace of mind whether you're at the beginning of your career or a seasoned professional. Magi and her contracts are the real deal!”

“I seriously could not have made it through 2020...

BECAME MORE CONFIDENT

Sacia

After a crazy year of rescheduling and constantly having to look at what my contracts said, I decided to invest in a new contract. I didn't want to get the same template contract every other photographer has in the industry. I needed something that was easy to read and easy to communicate to my clients. That's where Magi comes in. She built me a custom contract based on how I run my business and walked me through how to explain everything in the contract to my clients. I have never felt more at peace with my business. Now as I move forward I know that I can refer to what my contract says and there is almost always going to be a section that lays out how to handle each situation. I even had her help me craft language around communication between my clients and myself to help set better boundaries. Thank you Magi for sharing your skills with the world."

"Magi's custom services are worth every penny...

TOOK HER BUSINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Aislinn

She understands all angles and recommended so many new things to add to our contract. I now have the peace of mind that when I send out my contract, I know that it is protective not only for me, but also my client, and leaves no unanswered questions in the booking process. She is a perfectionist in making sure everything is easily understandable, properly worded, and ensuring there are no loopholes in the contract that someone could misconstrued. It was also so amazing having someone that was willing to go the extra mile in making sure everything was perfect, even when that meant having to restructure an entire contract. I cannot recommend Magi enough!”

"“I am so grateful. Magi's experience and knowledge of is priceless and so valuable...

SECURED HER FLORAL BUSINESS

Amanda

Working with Magi gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to move forward with growing my business and hiring a team in the most efficient way. I'm so thankful for her guidance and can testify that she truly is an open book when it comes to sharing her methods and resources!"

"Taking the next step to grow your business can be a scary world of unknowns...

GREW HER TEAM CONFIDENTLY

Dani

 The compelling evidence:

She even went further to address some questions I hadn't thought of, and did extensive research to provide examples and links for reference. After our call, I've never felt more secure in the legality of my work, partnerships, and copyright understanding. Magi also helped me craft my artist licensing agreement and even suggested further documents, so that I can officially start collaborations. She even created a more streamlined process for receiving payment, and most importantly, a smoother and more professional purchasing agreement to send to my clients. I am very, very grateful for her, her intelligence, kind nature, encouragement and 10 / 10 would definitely recommend her to anyone who's starting a business, or perhaps just wants to up their professionalism and legalities."

“MAGI ANSWERED EVERY SINGLE CREATIVE LAW QUESTION I EVER HAD ABOUT MY BUSINESS, WHILE BREAKING IT DOWN INTO TERMS I COULD UNDERSTAND...

CARLY GOT HER PAINTING CAREER STARTED

Magi was knowledgeable about the open water and heated yoga aspects and clearly did her research on the parts she didn't know as well. The waiver and policies she wrote has made me feel supported in my daily business activities and for that I will be forever grateful. I will never hesitate again to bring in the professionals so that I can feel confident and secure while running my business.”

“Magi was not only easy to work with, she was quick. I've always hesitated hiring a lawyer because I never found someone I could connect with and would understand my business and all the different aspects of it.

ITSWELL PADDLE & YOGA TIGHTENED UP THEIR LEGAL PAPERWORK

When I read Magi's contract, I felt a huge sigh of relief. While I have always felt confident in my contract, I knew that Magi had thought through everything and that all my bases were covered. I know my clients will feel confident signing such a professional and thorough document and I feel such peace of mind knowing that both a creative and a lawyer was the mastermind behind this. She doesn't skip any of the nuanced details that go into planning a wedding. She truly covered everything. These are amazing and an asset that every creative needs to invest in.”

“As a wedding planner, I know a good contract when I see one. I spent so much time pouring over vendor contracts for my clients making sure that everyone involved is protected...
