Ep 39 - Protect Your Boss Brand That Your Building with Summer Burnley

Darlene Hawley
Listen to the Podcast

Summer Burnley is a business strategist, attorney, and owner of Burnley Law PLLC, a virtual boutique law firm specializing in business and trademark law. Her law firm is a progressive law practice that has abandoned the traditional ways of doing law. She has purposely chosen to forego a brick and mortar, she has ditched the billable hour, and has said bye-bye to the ultra-conservative legal uniform. She is humbled to be part of the elite group of less than 1.7% of black attorneys who practice Intellectual Property law. Her background is in managing and strategizing high-end multi 6 & 7 figure businesses for growth. This expertise and skill set lead her to be a vital and integral member of her client’s businesses. Whether it be legally or operationally, Summer enjoys making sure her clients have a foundationally sound business set up to scale. Summer is on a mission to see more women of color entrepreneurs boldly protecting and owning their brands so that they can operate businesses that bring them more freedom.
