Meet Your Teacher

A former fancy lawyer on a mission to teach legalese to everyday people who work.

Brionna Ned

The Everyday Lawyer

Hi! I'm Brionna, The Everyday Lawyer. I teach legal foundations to freelancers, solopreneurs, and small business owners who want to make confident and informed legal decisions in their businesses. I've been a lawyer for 10 years and teaching business law to people like you is my favorite iteration of "lawyer" so far.

Fun facts: I used to be a corporate wellbeing educator and know a lot of stuff about nervous system regulation. I infuse that knowledge into my legal education work.

I love to write and have a newsletter called The Submissive List where I write about the importance of surrendering to change as a catalyst for individual and collective liberation.

I'm obsessed with astrology and use it to structure my work days, weeks, and months.

Where Your Money Goes: When you buy a course from me, know that it directly supports my livelihood. Every course purchase goes towards my monthly grocery bill so I can eat nourishing food that gives me the energy I need to do the work I love.

What You'll Learn From Me: What the law means, when the law matters and when it doesn't (depending on the power dynamics at play), and effective negotiation strategies for those intimidating corporate clients among many other things!

Thank you for being here and for choosing to let me teach you the ins and outs of business law!
