Andrew Legrand opened Spera Law Firm — a remote, paperless law firm — in 2011 and focused his sights on helping rebuild the New Orleans economy, after Hurricane Katrina, by providing local business owners the legal advice they needed to be successful.

He enjoys working with business owners who want to build a long-lasting business by proactively addressing their legal needs, but also enjoy helping businesses out of tough situations after they’re already in trouble. As a tech nerd with a law license, he enjoys finding efficient solutions to provide his clients with excellent services.

After his first year of law school in New Orleans in 2009, during the nation-wide economic crash, the fear of not finding work, combined with his love of local businesses, sparked a deep-seeded entrepreneurial spirit within him. This spirit is what fueled his idea to create a different kind of law firm: one that elevated small businesses by helping them grow, expand, and avoid legal issues by implementing practical, systematic solutions, all with simple, straight-forward pricing.

He enjoys working with business owners who want to build a long-lasting business by proactively addressing their legal needs, but also enjoy helping businesses out of tough situations after they’re already in trouble.

That’s why Spera Law works with small businesses of all types — start-ups, hair salons, consulting firms, charter schools — to help them grow, expand, and enrich the New Orleans economy.

An important part of setting up these businesses for success is anticipating risks before they happen. Bad contracts, brand theft, and other issues often can be avoided with a few mere hours of set-up, which is why Andrew and his team work with clients to build systemized business models for prevention on the front-end.
