Nina Kotick, a lawyer, is also the daughter and granddaughter of lawyers and grew up reciting her rights under the law. Educated at Tufts University and then Fordham Law School, she clerked in the Southern District of New York, Second Circuit, under William Connor, drafting legal opinions and counseling the judge on active federal
cases. She then worked as a commercial litigator for Simpson Thacher and Bartlett in New York, and when she relocated to California -- as an
entertainment lawyer at Nelson Guggenheim Felker and Levine in Los
Angeles.

Since leaving the corporate world to raise her three girls
(currently 5, 8, and 10) with her husband Bobby, Nina has encountered so
many women who have been caught short by their abdication of everything
legal. She's now back in the game, not lawyering, but, as the oldest
daughter of four girls, and the mother of three girls, sharing her legal
knowledge so that everyone, especially women, can access and enjoy their
rights.
