Kendra Stephen, Esq.The Lady Lawyer®
Attorney-led brand protection for entertainers, athletes, creators, and high-growth businesses — the firm that practices what it protects.
Software sends alerts. I enforce rights.
There is no shortage of automated tools with “brand protection” in the name. BrandProtector.com® is a law firm: a licensed attorney clears your name, files your applications, and enforces your rights — personally.

I put my credentials where you can check them.
Because that is what I would tell you to demand from any lawyer.

Education
JD/MBA, cum laude, Nova Southeastern University. The law degree protects your brand; the business degree understands why it’s worth protecting.
My clients are people whose name is the business.
I founded BrandProtector.com® to be the firm I could not find when I started practicing: a full-service brand protection and management practice built for people whose name carries the value. My clients include Grammy-winning artists, championship athletes, award-winning actors, television personalities, social media creators with audiences in the millions, and the entrepreneurs building companies around all of it.
I graduated cum laude with a dual JD/MBA from Nova Southeastern University, and that pairing is the whole practice in two degrees: the law degree protects what you have built, and the business degree understands why it is worth protecting. I do not treat brand protection as paperwork. I treat it as a growth strategy — because a name that is protected can be licensed, sold, and defended, and a name that is not cannot do any of those things.
“Protect to profit. A name that isn’t protected is not as profitable as one that is protected with a registered trademark.”
Much of my work is for minority-owned brands, and that focus is deliberate. The creators and founders building culture-defining businesses are too often the last to own what they built. Making sure they own it is the work I am proudest of.
“My analysis has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, The Huffington Post, and Essence — and Black Enterprise named me one of the Top 10 Black Female Attorneys You Should Know.”
My approach is simple: protect to profit. A name that isn’t protected is not as profitable as one that is protected with a registered trademark. My job is turning what you’ve built into an asset the law will stand behind.Kendra Stephen, Esq., The Lady Lawyer®
