Biography

Nakia Gray is a multi-faceted businesswoman and lawyer. She leverages her expertise in intellectual property law and brand strategy to give Black women business owners the legal strategies they need to package, protect and profit from their intellectual property.

Having launched her law firm in 2014, Nakia has provided brand strategy and legal solutions to thousands of small business owners, and believes that with the right legal strategy a business can expand, grow and create a lasting legacy.

For four years in a row Nakia has been named a Top Attorney by Washington, D.C.’s SuperLawyers magazine and has been featured on the cover of The Daily Record Newspaper in an article titled, Lawyers Reinvent Themselves With Virtual Law Firms.

As the digital landscape continues to evolve into an expansive marketplace, Nakia’s work is needed now more than ever. She thrives on knowing that everything she does will help someone else write their own rules in business and in life.

When she’s not running her burgeoning empire, Nakia enjoys spending time with her family and honoring her commitment to service through her beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha, Sorority, Inc.
