How to Navigate a Business Breakup Like a Pro feat. Margeaux Thomas

Margeaux Thomas is a litigator and founder of The Thomas Law
Office, P.C., a firm that focuses on "business divorces" –
complex breakups between business partners. In this episode,
Margeaux shares her journey from Ohio to the DMV, what drew her
to commercial litigation, and how she built a thriving law firm
dedicated to helping small businesses through conflict. She also
talks about growing up around quiet entrepreneurship and why
personality type plays a big role in choosing your legal niche.



Lawyer Side Hustles


While Margeaux’s legal practice is her main business, she also
maintains a vibrant presence on LinkedIn and integrates her
personal interests, especially swimming, into her professional
brand. By sharing her swim journey, personal milestones, and
non-legal reflections, she’s built an engaged audience that
connects with her on multiple levels. This has become a powerful
tool for business development.
“I also post a lot about things that aren’t legal… People
follow that and I go places and people talk about it, which is kind
of cool,” expresses Margeaux Thomas in Episode 197 of You Are a
Lawyer.

Her “side hustle” isn’t a separate business, but rather a
lifestyle of authentic marketing and personal storytelling that
enhances her professional success. Her experience demonstrates
how being relatable and real online can complement a highly
focused and serious legal career.
