Licensed to practice law in the State of Georgia (or ability to obtain)
Entrepreneurial mindset—comfortable in a client-facing role with direct client exposure
Strong academic record (minimum 3.0 law school GPA)
Stable work history with no unexplained job hopping

I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
A meeting lands on your calendar
When the company wants to meet, I get the call on your calendar. You just show up.
