Danelle Harvey-Jacob

Personal Introduction

Although Danelle’s childhood home environment was neither entrepreneurial, nor academic-focused, she started her first business before she was 10 and aspired to be a lawyer then, too. Prior to law, Danelle built businesses with zero budget on and offline internationally, whilst single-handedly raising her daughter. Today, she taps into her experiences as a business owner, best-selling business author, speaker, published composer, educator, and her extensive legal training to protect her clients’ interests with care and dedication. Danelle holds an LL.M. with business law from the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, and an MSc in Legal Studies. Before focusing on U.S. legal studies and practice, Danelle studied England and Wales, and European Union Law and worked at law firms while attaining her UK law degree and MSc. She has raised awareness on homelessness, domestic violence, and education issues at an international level, partnering with UK organizations including the London Mayor's Office, to effect positive change. One partnership resulted in a Georgia Governor's proclamation of Victory Over Violence Month. Danelle has worked on business, estate planning, and litigation based legal matters for clients as diverse as physician, psychotherapy, start-up technology, and security company CEOs, to small business owners and creators (including in fashion design, retail, pool cleaning, and boutique bakeries). Danelle was a Panelist & Presenter at the American Bar Association's 2022 Intellectual Property Fall Institute. The ABA recognized Danelle's "knowledge and unique insight into IP law and the legal profession" and stated that her provided content helped attendees, "including many seasoned professionals", "to ensure that they are on the cutting edge of this field." Such attendees confirmed that after the presentation they had "a greater understanding of current issues and solutions to worldwide IP law hurdles." She is dedicated to empowering others to achieve, succeed, and thrive in their business endeavors by helping them establish a solid foundation to accomplish and exceed their goals.
