About James
Biography
I'm a Trademark Lawyer and YouTube Entrepreneur. I've built a YouTube channel to almost 150,000 subscribers by providing helpful and practical information and tips that will allow you to build a better online business.
I run a virtual trademark law firm from Lisbon, Portugal (where we moved in 2021) and help online entrepreneurs protect their branding and the naming rights to their online business. I have also successfully built an online business with an amazing remote team, allowing me the freedom to work from home (or my local cafe) and travel the world with my family.
I post videos about branding and trademarks, entrepreneurship, money, productivity and other topics that helped make my lifestyle possible.

Great First Impression
I've been a single parent with 50/50 custody for almost 2 years. I didn't have a real specific reason to contact Mr. Hart other than general custody information and how to continue to protect both myself and my custody status with my son.
