"Sometimes it’s not about legal advice—it’s about understanding the process. And that’s something you can learn without going to law school." – Shatrasha Butler

Shatrasha Butler didn’t just go to law school—she’s on a mission to make legal knowledge actually useful for small business owners. In this episode, we unpack the legal must-knows for getting your business off the ground without drowning in jargon or draining your bank account.

Shatrasha Butler is a licensed attorney with over a decade of experience spanning government counsel, private firm litigation, and corporate contract law. She’s the founder of Label Me Legal, where she empowers solopreneurs to protect and grow their businesses with confidence—no expensive retainers required.

WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT

  • The key differences between a lawyer and an attorney—and why that matters
  • Why “start simple” is often the best legal advice for new business owners
  • What you really need before trademarking your brand
  • How to use free resources (like your country’s tax office) to register your business
  • The low-cost legal protections you can DIY with AI (and when not to)
  • Why a basic loan agreement can protect you—even if you’re just moving money between personal and business accounts
  • Which contracts matter early on—and where to find affordable templates
  • How to use the Madrid Protocol if you want international trademark protection

Listen in for practical, empowering advice that will help you protect your business and move forward with confidence.
