Corinne is the daughter of a teacher and a lawyer - which probably explains a lot about her desire to share and explain the legal stuff. After escaping many years of the big law firm life (aka the "soul-sucking situation"), Corinne started her entrepreneurial legal journey in 2012. What started as a 40-hour in-person legal course developed for small business owners has now also turned into guided legal templates for Canadians doing business online. Corinne has a knack for making things practical and easy to implement. Being a lawyer since 2002 has given her perspective and experience to boil things down to the essentials. Corinne is originally from Cape Breton Island and lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia with her spouse, Martin, two teenagers Enya and Owen and new rescue pup, Kiwi. Corinne’s hobbies include playing guitar with her band “The Mother Pluckers” and playing hockey with the Puckers. Corinne's motto is "Work Hard. Have Fun. Give Back." www.instagram.com/lawyercorinne https://twitter.com/lawyercorinne https://www.facebook.com/onlinelegalessentials https://www.onlinelegalessentials.ca/a/46574/tyMFJRL2
