What supports a Lawpreneur? Listen in as Katy Goshtasbi, Founder & CEO, Puris Personal Brand Solutions, branding expert and a former securities lawyer for 15 years discusses how to stand out, be unique, have a consistent, clear message and personal brand as a lawpreneur.
She has been blessed with an eye for the creative process around building a successful personal brand and presence in her own career and for businesses and individuals. In her “other” career,
Katy was a practicing securities attorney for thirteen years. Katy has practiced in-house as their investment counsel, in a law firm, at the Securities & Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C. as Senior Counsel, and lobbied on Capitol Hill. It was during her practice as a lawyer that she noticed that attorneys had a poor image.
She became fascinated about how a positive change could occur in perception of attorneys. Specifically, why was it that she was able to market herself well and thus her legal career was thriving, but colleagues were struggling? That’s when personal branding became her passion and she stopped her legal practice in order to be of assistance to others.

Fail fast to succeed faster
- When Katy left securities law to follow her passion, she had to get clear that her identity was not as an attorney but as a person. She wanted to be a contribution. Her advice to the Lawpreneur: Be happy first, then be a legal success.
Tell us something good
- One of Katy’s clients emailed her that her personal branding advice had saved the client’s life. She realized then that she could really do good in that community.
- Katy got one of her first big clients out of doing community service – another example of Givers Gain.
- Look at life differently: Not from “I am an attorney, and attorneys do/do not do that.”
