Attorney-drafted contract templates, monthly Q&A and training for interior designers
Designed Counsel is a legal education membership for interior designers, led by business attorney Wendy Estela. Contracts, client disputes and business risk can feel confusing when you are busy running a design practice. This membership puts practical legal guidance in one place, written for designers rather than lawyers.
Wendy has worked with designers for about ten years, from large AD100 firms to newer studios. She brings that experience to a template library, a monthly live Q&A and video training on contracts and business topics. Members can also book one-on-one consulting time with Wendy at a discounted rate.
The membership is billed annually at $3,000, or as 12 monthly payments of $250.
