JULIE SHAVALIER, ESQ.

Founding Attorney

Hello and welcome. I’m Julie Shavalier, Founding Attorney of Shavalier Law, an Internet-based law practice designed to support entrepreneurs and businesses.

In 2012, I stepped away from my work in Corporate Litigation Support relating to Asset-Backed Securities in pursuit of a career more closely related to my lifelong passion for service, education and empowerment. Through a number of entrepreneurial ventures in the field of Holistic Health & Wellness, my business partners and I observed a significant lack of accessible and affordable options for legal services, as well as a void of streamlined and modern representation. It felt completely out of alignment to be amongst three creative women, hustling to develop an organic, raw juice and food product line (a novel concept in 2012!), sitting across the proverbial conference table from a stiff man in a suit.

I began to be approached by a growing number of women in the Holistic Health & Wellness community seeking legal advice on their entrepreneurial endeavors (authors, educators, holistic health practitioners and brick & mortar practices in Manhattan and Brooklyn) and as a result, developed a thriving side legal practice. I felt impactful and totally invigorated by helping other women actualize the launch of their dream product or service. Shavalier Law was soon after established.

In the many years that have followed, my practice has grown to support graphic designers, software developers, business coaches, midwifery practices and much, much more. My passion is women in business - on our own terms.

Julie is an attorney in the states of New York and Florida.
