Shadowmark Legal Services, LLC® is a woman-owned, disabled veteran-owned business. Thank you for your support.
I’m Shadowmark’s owner, Brenna M. Palmquist, a licensed attorney and a member of the District of Columbia Bar Association. I’m licensed to practice federal intellectual property law nationwide.
I work with creative professionals & entrepreneurs to protect your unique brand. You deserve to have complete control over how your business identity is used.
I know that creativity can move quickly — sometimes faster than the legal systems designed to protect it. Before focusing my practice on intellectual property, I worked with complex financial reviews, compliance matters, and large-scale information systems designed to organize and manage valuable records. That experience shaped the way I approach IP management strategy today: helping creators and businesses organize their intellectual property, clarify ownership, and build a foundation for future opportunities, without the use of AI.
Protecting your work is not only about filing paperwork; it is about creating a sustainable strategy for the ideas, characters, and brands you are building.
In addition to my law degree, I have a bachelors in digital communications & a masters in clinical mental health counseling. I enjoy working together with my clients using a team-based approach, understanding that they are the experts in their brand, image, vision, and profession. I believe all individuals deserve dignity & fair treatment in protecting their work.
I provide clear deliverables, fair hourly rates, & no surprises.
As a creative myself, I’ve been an influencer of alternative communities since 1997. In my free time, I am a musician, painter (acrylics), vegan consultant, & local music supporter in Asheville, North Carolina.
