About The Legal Pad

In the first few years of building a business, entrepreneurs are the most vulnerable. They’re still figuring out how to price, market and deliver their products and services, and margins are often razor thin. It’s no surprise that they cut costs where they can, and legal services are usually one of the first things to go.

Then it’s all well and good...until it’s not.

After working with business owners, creatives and influencers for over a decade, Tyra Hughley Smith, Esq. realized the need for flexible and affordable support for entrepreneurs. The Legal Pad was created out of her legal expertise, extensive education and experience as general counsel and as a serial entrepreneur. Tyra is the owner of three travel businesses, a creative, and is passionate about helping businesses grow with a strong legal foundation.

Every contract offered by The Legal Pad is drafted by an attorney who is experienced in trademarks, intellectual property, copyright, and business law. You can relax knowing that these forms have been carefully reviewed and crafted to support you and your growing enterprise. Investing in well-written legal contracts will give you and your clients confidence and provide you with peace of mind.
