Meet Robyn
Robyn is a seasoned attorney and operations strategist who partners with growing businesses and nonprofits from start-up to scale. She brings a unique combination of strategic insight, legal expertise, and operational leadership to the organizations she supports.
Robyn began her career in private practice, representing mid-sized businesses to Fortune 500 companies in high-stakes contract disputes, employment litigation, and intellectual property matters. She later transitioned into the nonprofit sector, where she served as In-house Counsel and VP of Operations for a rapidly expanding national nonprofit organization. She built the organization’s legal infrastructure and advised executive leadership and the board on risk management, compliance, governance, and employment practices. She also played a central role in scaling operations, workflows, and personnel functions and building a strong staff culture as the organization doubled in size.
Today, Robyn partners with purpose-driven founders and leaders who want more clarity, less chaos, and the freedom to focus on the work only they can do.

She handles their contracts, employment matters, policy development, and the wide range of legal needs that businesses face as they scale.
