CHICAGO - Sept. 23, 2014 - PRLog -- Creative Genius Law -- Legal innovator and attorney Patrice Perkins, known for seeking ways to turn the practice of law on its axis, is being profiled as one of the newly selected 2014 “Legal Rebels” in the September issue of the American Bar Association (ABA) Journal. Driven by her passion for justice and creativity, this title characterizes her approach to the profession.

Inaugurated in 2009, the ABA “Legal Rebels” represents the essence of the new generation of law practitioners. The ABA dubs them “strivers, pushing change and rejecting the rule book to build careers, serve clients, and improve access to justice.” The 2014 honorees round out the list of 100 “rebels” since the inception of this distinction. Perkins has constructed her practice from this “rebellious” ethic which has led to a trailblazing approach to lawyering. She doesn’t want to fit neatly into boxes, she intends to make them bulge. “It's very important that younger attorneys know that there are innovative ways to practice law, and opportunities for being creative. I hope to inspire those who wanted to break the mold of traditional law, but didn't think that it was possible", says Perkins.

As the founder and CEO of Creative Genius Law, LLC, a law firm for creative entrepreneurs, Perkins brings an inspired and ground-breaking edge to the practice of law. As a graduate of The DePaul University College of Law in Chicago, Perkins excelled early in her career as the Business and Publications Editor of the DePaul Health Law Journal and as a contributing researcher on a report prepared for the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination presented in Geneva, Switzerland. This drive for excellence has continued as she launched her own practice geared toward supporting and educating artistic entrepreneurs and innovators. Being a visionary, she believes that her practice fills a necessary void in the legal community by offering services tailored to the unique needs of creatives. By leveraging small brands through intellectual property, she is able to generate long-term success.

As one of only a few specialists practicing in this area of law, Perkins draws on her ability to connect with creative communities. It is in this spirit that she founded StreetFood Artistry, a first-of-its-kind festival that provides exposure, educational programs, and support for small art, culture, and food businesses in Chicago by creating a visibility channel that allows for increased consumer engagement, an annual grant, and pro bono legal services to a deserving business. Her inclusion in this article is a testament to her passion for legal education and service, as well as her dedication to the creative entrepreneur.
