“Life is too short to not live our best lives,” says Carolyn Jahnke, founding attorney of Athena Legal Solutions, LLC.
And she’s a testament to that, having spent nearly two decades in the public and private sectors before launching Athena in 2019.
“I wanted to use my business, nonprofit, and legal skills to help others who are also taking the risk of building their dream business,” she says.
Often, business owners don’t seek legal advice until it’s too late and costs are too high. “We want to demystify the legal elements of business ownership, because being proactive about it is critical,” Carolyn says. “It sets you up for greater success down the road.”
Whether it’s assisting with entity selection, providing clarity on applicable laws, ensuring the right contracts are in place, or protecting what makes you special through trademarks and copyrights, Carolyn is dedicated to making sure small businesses have a solid legal foundation. And, she’s especially interested in helping women small business owners, having set a goal of assisting 223 women with their LLCs in 2023.
“I want to be a trusted partner for small business, from startup to legacy creation,” Carolyn says. “No business or nonprofit is too small for the peace of mind that comes with having a legal expert in your corner.”
