The How to Contract Love Story

While Laura was successful in-house commercial contracts attorney, she spent her life focused on her work and her kids. That changed in August 2020, when Laura began sharing daily contract tips as part of a 30-day challenge of posting on LinkedIn. Her posts were an immediate success. She started adding to each post a self-made funny cartoon that quickly became her trademark.

Following the success on LinkedIn, Laura published two editions of her Amazon bestseller on contracts - “​Practical Tips on How to Contract” - that has sold over 7,000 copies. The book has been embraced by several law schools and law school professors.

In March 2021, Laura launched How to Contract, a contract training business focused on helping lawyers and in-house contract teams learn real-world contract skills. In the years since, she's delivered 100+ hours training to thousands of lawyers and professionals around the world. How to Contract has become the go-to solution for lawyers and professionals wanting real-world training on contracts.

Laura added workshops and a training conference. The first conference (under the prior name How to Contract Conference) was virtual only due to Covid. Laura followed that up in February 2023 with the first in-person conference under the name ContractsCon. Over 200 people attended in person and 400 people virtually.  Now ContractsCon has moved to Las Vegas and will take place in person in Las Vegas and virtually worldwide every January. The next event is January 22-23, 2025.
