This week on the Legally Speaking Podcast, our host Rob Hanna is joined by Anjie Vichayanonda, a trademark and copyright lawyer turned entrepreneur who is changing the industry through mentorship.
Having worked at Under Armour, Kelly IP LLP and Haynes and Boone LLP, she founded Leg Up Legal in late 2018. The firm has revolutionised mentoring and networking for prospective law students in the United States.\\xa0
The decision to start her firm was partly based on her own personal experience as a first generation Asian American, whose initial lack of connections and insider insight slowed her progress in the industry. In this episode therefore, we learn more of Angie's story, including how she overcame these challenges, succeeded in the industry and now devotes her time to supporting ambitious young Americans.\\xa0
In this episode, Angie covers:
- Why she transitioned from advertising to the legal sector
- Why she believes trademark and copyright law is the sector's "best-kept secret"
- The full Leg Up Legal story
- The motivation behind setting up her unique podcast (The Law Lives Project)\\xa0
- Details about her new Zoom-based networking initiative\\xa0
