Amanda Gayle, founder and managing attorney of Self Made Law, is helping entrepreneurs build stronger businesses through accessible legal support and business consulting services. Serving clients nationwide for intellectual property services and providing contract support in New York and Washington, D.C., Gayle created her firm to close the knowledge gap many emerging entrepreneurs face when launching and scaling their businesses.
"Our primary and sole focus is on the entrepreneur and how to improve their journey." We’re not only for entrepreneurs — we’re owned and managed by entrepreneurs.”
In addition to legal services, Amanda is preparing to expand the firm through She Means Business™, an upcoming consulting initiative designed to support entrepreneurs through operational, supply chain, marketing, and financial management consulting services this summer and fall 2026.
As a serial entrepreneur herself, Gayle says her firsthand experience building businesses allows her to better understand the realities and concerns many founders face while scaling their companies.
Beyond legal representation, Self Made Law® remains committed to community education and empowerment. The firm regularly offers free workshops and events throughout the year to help future entrepreneurs gain the knowledge they need before beginning their entrepreneurial journeys.
In 2025, Self Made Law® celebrated five years in business after successfully obtaining hundreds of trademarks and copyrights for business owners nationwide. And while completing her spring semester at Howard University Business School with a 4.0 GPA this CEO also received a $10,000 scholarship from Zelle for her Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition journey!! We love to see it!
For other Black women entrepreneurs, Amanda advises:
"Launch that business, but be thoughtful about what you're building. Protect what you can as early as possible and seek out resources (like us) on day one; it'll save you a lot of headache down the road."
Amanda is working toward the future with you and her firm in mind: “When I look back on our work at Self Made Law® and She Means Business™, I’ll be fulfilled with our impact knowing that the advice we’ve given to clients has helped them feel supported and empowered while they chased their dreams,” she shares. “Bringing your vision to life, in a world that tells us we’re not enough, when we know we’re more than most, is revolutionary.”
