About Kristy
Big ideas deserve real protection.
I'm Kristy Legoas, an intellectual property attorney helping creators, entrepreneurs, startups, artists, and growing businesses protect the names, brands, and creative work they've built.
Launching a business? Building a brand people recognize? Making something entirely your own? Intellectual property is what keeps your work yours.
I bring together law, business, and the creative industries to make trademark and copyright protection a little less intimidating — and a lot more approachable.
Create. Build. Protect.
