About

Ashlee Ann Hightower is an accomplished attorney at Contracts for Creatives, based in Washington, D.C., specializing in contracts and agreements, business law, and intellectual property. She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Mississippi before graduating from the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University. Following her successful completion of the bar exam, Ashlee practiced law for over three years at a prominent national law firm in Birmingham, Alabama, where she honed her legal expertise. Transitioning to a corporate legal role, Ashlee served as a legal editor for a global publishing company in Washington, D.C. During this time, she cultivated her passion for creativity by launching her own style and travel blog, Cobalt Chronicles. As she engaged with creatives across various industries—such as photography, graphic design, and event planning—Ashlee identified a significant gap: many of her peers were operating without essential contracts to safeguard their businesses. Leveraging her legal background and insights from the blogging community, Ashlee founded Contracts for Creatives. Her mission is to simplify the legal aspects of creative work by offering accessible contract templates and custom agreements tailored to specific collaborations, campaigns, or business relationships. Additionally, she provides assistance with business registration and intellectual property matters, empowering creatives to thrive in their endeavors.
