I am Donna Patane.
People need me to help with business legal affairs and to speak on my niche expertise and 3 small people need me to mostly make them snacks and pick up their stuff.
People want me because I’m approachable, strategic, and more fun than your average lawyer.
If it sounds like you could do with my input, get in touch. I’d love to hear from you!

Prior to having children, I was the type of person who had my days totally organised and I had a five year plan which I regularly reviewed. (Type A much?).
My plans included travelling around Europe and North America, getting married, getting promoted to Senior Associate at my firm then having children. I figured it was strategically sound to have children after ensuring my career was well established, but before becoming a boss (or being ‘old’). Surely this was the perfect time, right?
