Who We Serve
At Grounded Legal Practice, PLLC we recognize that meaningful legal work and leadership support must be built around the people we serve and the people we're excited to support as we grow.
Explore below to see if we’re the right fit for one another.
Every partnership begins with a story. A moment of growth, change, or realization it's time to do things differently.
The ones that follow capture the kinds of moments we step into and are proud to support.

We help founders spot those details early and design privacy, cyber, and AI governance proactively so you're not catching up in crisis.
Entrepreneurs, founders, early-stage startup teams
You're building, pitching, hiring, shipping, and learning as you go. Every day brings another fire to put out, another tool to integrate, more investor updates to send. Legal and privacy compliance questions live somewhere on the backburner - not because they don't matter but because growth always feels more urgent.
​
What's easy to miss is that privacy shows up in the small things. The ad platforms you run, the analytics you install, the contracts you sign with vendors, even cookies and other trackers running in the background. Every one of those choices shapes how your company - and dream - are perceived.​

We turn compliance chaos into structured trust, helping you stay focused on growth, relationships, and what matters next.
Lean legal teams
Your inbox is a maze: new vendor contracts due EOD, unread privacy & cyber questionnaires, rounds of client emails asking how data is stored, shared, deleted. DSAR requests pile up beside competing deadlines and every "quick Q" turns into a policy check.​​
​
You're doing your best to stay compliant and protect your reputation. But the pace never slows. You care about doing things right - you just need it to move as fast as you do.

We help guide product and platform teams to embed privacy, AI governance, cyber systematically throughout the product lifecycle for long-term strength.
SaaS, PaaS, Platform Providers
You're building systems that power how people work, connect, and create. Every week brings new integrations, new data flows, and new expectations, from customers, to regulators, to your own teams.
​
Privacy, AI governance, and cyber are now part of your product's DNA, but the rules evolve faster than your roadmap.
​
You're focused on resilience - scaling responsibly, keeping trust intact, and staying agile through constant change.​
​

Let's embed ethical practices from the start so the next generation grows up better protected against discrimination, surveillance, manipulation, and misplaced trust.
Education and ed tech
You're building tools that students and teachers rely on for learning, collaboration, and genuine connection. FERPA, COPPA, student privacy laws show up faster than clear answers.
You don't need another lecture. You're looking for engaging, relatable human guidance that speaks your language.
​

Let us help and protect your ownership, creativity, clarify collaborations, and design ethically so your work stays truly yours.
Creative Professionals
You're in touch with your inner world, creating, designing, translating imagination into reality. Between client projects, collabs, platforms, you're constantly sharing your work while wondering what actually protects it once it's out there.
​
A repost, a contract clause, a "template" too close to yours blurs the line between inspiration and imitation.
​
You want to create freely without worrying about who might take credit or control.

We help align practices with HIPAA, state consumer health privacy laws, and ethical data standards so your work stays centered on healing, not handling forms.
Health and wellness or medical professionals
You guide people through deeply personal work, in person, online, or somewhere in between. You handle client stories, health data, and sensitive information every day, often across tools that weren't built with privacy in mind.​
​
Between scheduling platforms, digital forms, tracking pixels on wellness content, or AI assistants that learn from interactions, it's hard to know what's truly secure or what patients have actually consented to.
​
You lead with care, but that alone doesn't make compliance clear.

We help bring clear contracts, reduce third party service provider cyber risk, and earn more trust with transparent, modern privacy practices.
Solo practitioners and boutique law firms
You're managing it all. Client work, marketing, contracts, data, spreadsheets, and deadlines. With each onboarding tool, e-sign platform, cloud storage, and online communication, every document, policy, platform is another risk that rests on your shoulders.
​
You need systems that work as hard and as smart as you do.

We're here to help you build values-rooted privacy and security programs that strengthen integrity and impact.
Nonprofits, advocacy, and mission-driven organizations
You're leading work that matters. Serving communities, driving systemic change with volunteers, and rethinking justice for the people. With grant reporting, donor expectations, day-to-day operations, privacy, cyber, and AI compliance rarely makes it to the top of the list. Yet it is how trust is built, with colleagues, funders, and the people you serve.
​
You want structure that protects your mission but not with the impersonal, fear-driven paperwork.

Let's collaborate on workshops and simulations that make privacy and ethics real, empowering your people to model integrity even when it's hard.
Employee resources groups, leadership and professional development teams
You're shaping culture from the inside out. Guiding others, mentoring leaders, and helping people grow to become their best selves.​
​​
With each engagement survey, training program, performance data, demographic information, you're gathering more info about your employees than ever before - often without clear boundaries on how its used or shared.
AI tools creep into hiring, evaluation, and training, raising new ethical questions no one feels fully prepared to answer.

We help you recover from digital harm with calm, compassionate, legal strategy to restore safety and peace of mind.
Individuals Facing Digital Harm or Scam
You're dealing with something you never expected - a scam, a data breach, or a situation at work that crossed the line of reasonable expectations of privacy.
​
Maybe your information was exposed, your trust broken, or you're not sure where to turn. It can feel overwhelming when it's hard to even know where your personal information lives - or who has it.
​
You deserve a plan that's steady, clear, and human.
