Meet Zara Watson-Young, the co-founder of Watson & Young, a trademark law firm with an award-winning, modern legal team providing a transparent trademark process for the digital entrepreneur.

Zara once aimed to follow her stepfather’s footsteps to become a doctor. However, by freshman year of college, she decided to go in a different direction.

In this episode, we dive into Zara’s path in law, driven by a desire to help others. You’ll learn of her experiences in law school, her passion for intellectual property to support female founders, and the importance of building a law firm that prioritizes client relationships, defining roles within a team, and effective systems. She shares her experience running a business with her husband, Sean Young, and how rewarding it is to start a family business. Plus, you’ll get to listen (or watch) Zara sharing client cases while playing Word Sneak, a game where you have to use 10 random words and phrases within the conversation.

💛 About Zara Watson-Young:

Zara Watson-Young is the co-founder of Watson & Young, a full-service law firm she runs with her husband, Sean, helping 6-7 figure female founders protect and grow their businesses.

Zara loves working with passionate, scaling brands to help them secure their ideas, protect their hard work, and avoid costly legal battles. She’s guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through the trademark process, helping them launch, expand, and defend their businesses.
