Hi, I’m Kathryn
Founder of Event Law
I’m here to help you fall in love with doing business again.
I could give you my extensive resume (cliff notes: I’m a lawyer with over two decades of global corporate law experience, big cases etc) but the really cool part is that I am a lawyer who also owned and operated my own event company.
Now, I’m a legal entrepreneur, digital educator and speaker using my experience to change the way people feel about the legal side of their business.
When the pandemic hit, I realised that the event industry didn’t have a central place to learn how to protect their business with legal documents. It was a lonely old place with a lack of access to legal resources. I decided to change that.
I have now helped hundreds of event businesses with their business documentation, acumen and knowledge, giving them the certainty they need in these uncertain economic times. There are now a whole bunch of event business owners that spend their time having fun instead of worrying about the stuff that kept them up at night.
I won’t ruin your party.
Work with Event Law to future proof your event business.
