Today we’re going to be talking with legal expert, Jo−Ná Williams on how to protect your business.
Our guest founded her practice, J.A. Williams Law and The Artist Empowerment Firm back in 2011. But her desire to build her companies started a lot earlier. I’m going to have her share her story, but basically she had some legal challenges that prompted her to go to law school and ever since she’s been dedicated to helping artists and entrepreneurs protect themselves and their businesses. Some of her clients have written best−selling books, reached the Billboard Top 100, and been nominated for Grammys. And Jo−Ná isn’t unfamiliar with fame herself. She’s been featured in Marie TV, The Vocalist Magazine, Women In Music, ReverbNation, CDBaby and The New York State Bar Association’s Entertainment, Arts and Sports Law Journal.
This is why I’m so excited to have her on the show today.
