Nichole Engle founded Engle Law, LLC, to provide entrepreneurs, start-ups, and growth-stage companies with access to high-caliber legal counsel that has historically only been available to larger, better-resourced businesses. With over fifteen years of experience, including several years as a partner and patent attorney at a prestigious Atlanta IP law firm, Nichole provides practical, proactive, and strategic legal guidance to clients in the areas of business formation, governance and operations, commercial agreements, intellectual property and brand protection, and technology and SaaS. Her approach is designed to identify potential risks early and align legal decisions with her client’s business objectives.

For many clients, Nichole offers fractional general counsel services that enable her to function as an embedded partner rather than as outside counsel brought in to address an isolated issue. In this role, she develops a comprehensive understanding of her client’s business, products, commercial relationships, and regulatory environment, which she uses to provide the ongoing, integrated legal guidance that enables founders and executives to move quickly and confidently. She provides essential day-to-day legal services at a fraction of the cost of full-time, in-house legal counsel, enabling founders and executives to move quickly and confidently by aligning day-to-day legal decisions with their long-term business objectives. For companies building to a financing round, an acquisition, or significant operational scale, this continuity offers a meaningful advantage: when legal questions arise, the answer does not need to wait for outside counsel to get up to speed.

Nichole earned her Juris Doctor, cum laude, from Georgia State University College of Law. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology with a specialization in Molecular Genetics and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Michigan State University, graduating with honors. She has extensive international studies, including honors studies in comparative legal systems and comparative politics at the University of South Wales, honors studies in Western European politics and politics of English-speaking democracies at the University of London, and legal studies in international commercial arbitration at the University of Linz. She interned with the Australian Parliament, where she studied the formation of Australia’s gene technology legislation.

When she is not practicing law, Nichole is an avid traveler and volunteers with youth organizations, including Girl Scouts of America, Rise Up!, and her local Parent Teacher Association.
