After reading Yvon Choiunard's book, "Let My People Go Surfing" in December, 2005, Lara became one of the first few hundred members of 1% for the Planet in January, 2006. By June, 2006 Lara joined the Board of Directors of 1% and by February, 2008 The Law Office of Lara Pearson became one of the world’s first Certified B Corporations. Yay! Lara’s deep involvement in the social enterprise community enables her to see things other attorneys miss, providing immeasurable value to her clients.

Lara is exceptionally skilled at making intellectual property (IP) law easy and fun. She has a real knack for conveying her knowledge in an engaging and entertaining way that makes complex subject matter not only simple and understandable, but also enjoyable.
