How To Protect Your Business and Intellectual Property feat. Alyssa Devine

Alyssa Devine, founder of Purple Fox Legal, shares her journey
from initially wanting to be a veterinarian to discovering her
passion for intellectual property law and entrepreneurship. She
advises law students and young lawyers on building relationships,
embracing change, and finding the right career fit. The episode
highlights the significance of developing skills while also
understanding when it's necessary to pivot and find a different
path.





What You Can Do With a Law Degree


As Alyssa Devine highlights in this podcast episode, law students
and young lawyers have the opportunity to explore different areas
of law and develop a vast network of connections. Alyssa advises
law students to not only focus on the legal field but also to
build relationships with business owners and professionals from
other industries. 
"Developing skills is always good, but also recognizing what is
and is not the right fit is really, really important. If you get
that feeling, then, you know, figure out something different. Like
don't just stay stuck in that cycle. You'll be very unhappy,"
emphasizes Alyssa Devine, on this episode of You Are a Lawyer.

With a law degree, individuals can pursue careers in various
fields, such as litigation, corporate law, intellectual property,
entertainment law, and more. They can work in law firms,
government agencies, and non-profit organizations or even start
their law firms or businesses. The key is to continuously learn
and adapt to the changing landscape of the legal profession. With
the right mindset and a willingness to explore different
opportunities, individuals with a law degree can carve out
successful and fulfilling careers in various fields.
"Don't get discouraged… We don't have the society where you go
to work for a company for 30, 40 years. We can change jobs. That's
acceptable. That's expected. And that's okay," shares Alyssa Devine
on You Are A Lawyer.
