Clients get help understanding what type of lawyer they need, how much to budget, and the business context of their legal issues to level the playing field for their businesses. Story LLP has also built an Alliance of experienced and talented - but underappreciated - female and minority attorneys to serve these clients in an environment of mutual respect. Story LLP provides a private, secure ecosystem which optimizes their work together, generates anonymized, structured data about that work, and repackages learnings to provide free support to humans and founders with less access to resources and networks of privilege to set themselves up for legal success. Together, we build a more inclusive, less abusive legal services industry. After obtaining a BA and MA from Emory University (both in 2005) and obtaining her law degree at Stanford Law School (2008), Jessica began her legal career at major law firms Latham & Watkins LLP. Realizing that the firm model was abusive, broken, and allergic to women’s success, she opened her own firm under a new model and grew it each year. In this practice, she worked as a General Counsel for multiple venture-backed startups, including as the first lawyer at early stage startups like Genius and Handshake that eventually reached “unicorn status,” and also served as General Counsel and Chief Privacy Officer of Stride Health. In 2015, in parallel to running her firm, Jessica cofounded and served as CEO of AnnieCannons, a nonprofit that trains survivors of human trafficking and gender-based violence to be software engineers and operates an impact technology consultancy where they worked, where she guided the ideation and development numerous anti-abuse software applications by those with lived experience of complex marginalization. At AnnieCannons, Jessica also helped survivors and software development clients cooperate to get more of what they deserved. Jessica believes that there is a vast, untapped opportunity for value generation in today’s markets: creating working and learning conditions where those who have been marginalized and subject to unfair bias can realize their true value free from such bias. This is what she seeks through Story LLP today.
