Nic Cober, Esquire

As a trailblazer in the small business community for nearly a decade, Ms. Cober created a day spa and hair salon chain that served as a revitalization catalyst in a burgeoning area of the Nation's Capital. During that time, Soul Day Spa received national media coverage in various publications such as Essence, Allure, The Washingtonian, The Washington Post, Upscale and Black Enterprise. The salon was also featured on CBS Morning News, BET and the reality show, "Ambush Makeover." The salon and spa received recognition by the Washington City Paper as "The Best Stylist" and "Best Spa". Ms. Cober's commitment to the community was on display annually when the team members provided complementary services to Rachael's Women's Shelter. Currently, Ms. Cober blends both her legal and business skills together to offer a uniquely powerful list of services for clients. Affectionately known as "The Lawyerpreneur," she now seeks to empower start-ups and local small businesses with powerful tools, such as: Drafting effective business plans; Site selection recommendations and creating financial projections; Selecting and preparing incorporation documents; Assisting clients with licensing issues related to their trademarks and copyrights; Creating powerful and effective logo and branding materials; and Creating management and operational materials for owners. It is Ms. Cober's proven track record as a successful entrepreneur, attorney and branding powerhouse that continually ensures her clients' success. Ms. Cober is also a public speaker, coach and soon to be author who will publish a book later this year chronicling the do's and dont's of her early days as an entrepreneur.
