Growing firm is part of a surge in women's
entrepreneurship
NEW
YORK, May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As the
number of women-owned employers in the U.S. surges, the woman-owned
Law Office of Stacy J. Grossman PLLC is celebrating its 10th
anniversary by rebranding as SGIP. The boutique's founder,
Stacy Grossman, said that 100% of
the firm's lawyers and staff are women, offering trademark,
copyright, and publishing counsel to clients seeking diverse talent
among their outside law firms.
Women are the fastest-growing category of entrepreneurs
worldwide and the number of women-owned businesses in the U.S. has
skyrocketed. The National Women's Business Council reports
that 39.1% of U.S. businesses are women-owned. Between 2019
and 2023, the number of women-owned businesses grew by 13.6%,
nearly double the rate of growth for men-owned businesses.
In this high-growth environment, woman-owned law firms remain
rare. SGIP is one of only 308 law firms certified as woman-owned by
the Women's Business Enterprise Council, an organization that has
certified over 18,000 businesses since 1997. Within the specialty
of trademark law, woman-owned firms are even scarcer; a database of
members of the National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law
Firms includes fewer than forty woman-owned firms focusing on
trademark law.
SGIP's unique position has attracted an impressive roster of
clients. The firm helps protect some of the most recognized brands
for clients that include Tee and Charles Addams Foundation, and its
THE ADDAMS FAMILY and WEDNESDAY brands; PWxyz, the publisher of
Publishers Weekly, a trade publication in circulation since
1872; and Theatre Development Fund, a non-profit organization that
operates the iconic TKTS booth in Times Square.
"I'm delighted to be celebrating my firm's 10th
anniversary as part of the growing trend of women-owned
businesses," Grossman said. "SGIP looks forward to building on our
legacy by expanding our work with clients committed to working with
women-owned law firms."
