Although it may not be the sexiest part of running a business, understanding how legally sound your business and/or brand is – is critical to its long-term success. We talk with Art Steele an intellectual property attorney who has been practicing law for nearly 10 years.

She founded ArtSteele.co – an online resource that provides creatives with simple legal solutions.
