Pandemic-Born Woman-Owned Law Firm Redefines Legal Support for Small Businesses
Pandemic-Born Woman-Owned Law Firm Redefines Legal Support for Small Businesses Covington, LA January 06, 2024 (USANews.com) - In 2021, as the world grappled with the unpredictable challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, award-winning attorney, Erica Cicero, Esq., made the bold decision to found Cicero Law, LLC—an ambitious venture aimed at redefining legal services during one of the most challenging times in recent history. Her mission was clear: to offer business owners, particularly female entrepreneurs, an accessible and affordable legal solution during a time of uncertainty. Although founding a small business, a boutique law firm, during the height of the pandemic seemed like madness, Erica’s entrepreneurial spirit and relentless determination allowed her to shoot to the top of her industry. A Vision for Empowering Entrepreneurs Founded with a vision to create a supportive, family-driven law firm that empowers entrepreneurs, Cicero Law has quickly become a beacon of hope for businesses seeking high-quality legal counsel without the financial burden of maintaining a full-time in-house attorney. Now, three years into the journey, Erica Cicero is excited to announce its flagship service, In-House Counsel on Demand—a groundbreaking offering that provides on-demand legal support to businesses on flexible, cost-effective terms. Family-Run with a Legacy of Empowerment As a woman-owned and family-run business, Cicero Law stands apart from many of its competitors. The firm was founded by Erica Cicero and recently joined by her husband, Charles “Chaz” Cicero III. Together, they have cultivated a practice that not only serves their clients but also serves as a family business they hope to pass down to their two daughters one day.
"When I founded Cicero Law, it wasn’t just about building a law firm—it was about creating something my daughters could inherit, something that would continue empowering small business owners for years to come," Erica Cicero shared. "I want them to feel that they can build their dreams, just as I have, with the knowledge that they’ll have the tools and support to succeed." Addressing Small Business Challenges The unique family-centered values of Cicero Law reflect their commitment to helping small business owners navigate the complex and often overwhelming world of legal issues. As small business owners themselves, Erica and Chaz understand the pressures entrepreneurs face and are passionate about offering legal services that directly address these challenges. "I understand what it’s like to wear all the hats—managing day-to-day operations, handling financials, and trying to grow in a tough economy. That's why we created In-House Counsel on Demand. We want to give other small business owners the legal tools they need to succeed, without breaking the bank," Erica explained. A Game-Changing Legal Service The launch of In-House Counsel on Demand allows small businesses to access high-quality legal services through affordable monthly retainer programs or hourly rates. With this service, businesses can access expert legal guidance on a wide range of issues—from daily operational matters to more complex legal challenges like litigation and compliance—all without the significant overhead of retaining a full-time in-house attorney.
"Our goal is to provide entrepreneurs with affordable legal support, empowering them to grow their businesses confidently," said Chaz Cicero. Breaking Barriers for Women in Business Cicero Law stands out for its commitment to women’s empowerment, driven by Erica’s dedication to breaking down barriers for women in business. Erica is determined to create a world where her daughters and females of Gen Alpha will be able to "have it all" on their own terms. "I want every single woman to have a life where she has it all, whatever that means for her. For me, being a business owner is the single greatest tool available to define my own destiny—practicing law, running businesses, and being a full-time mom who doesn’t miss a moment," Erica explains. A Legacy of Integrity and Empowerment Beyond serving clients, the Ciceros aim to build a legacy of integrity and empowerment, creating opportunities for future generations and making a lasting impact on the small business community.
"Joining this firm that Erica founded was always about more than just practicing law; it’s about building a family business that will leave a lasting impact," Chaz reflected. "We hope to pass on not just our legal knowledge, but the values of hard work, integrity, and empowerment to our daughters, giving them a foundation to carry this legacy forward."
