Who are you and what is your business?

My name is Lindsey Egan. I’m an attorney and founder of Egan Law Center in Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA. I founded my business in 2018, but really didn’t start officially until 2019, coinciding not so elegantly with the super early birth of my first daughter. Currently, I have one associate attorney and one marketing/client relations employee.

Please provide a brief description of your company.

At Egan Law Center, we use a creative, confident, and compassionate approach to maximize the control you have in your situation, while empowering you to make informed decisions that safeguard your family and financial future.

What inspired you to start your business and what keeps you going?

Let’s just say, I got tired of building someone else’s empire while my ideas got adopted faster than I could blink. Plus, the boss-lady life seemed perfect for future mommyhood.

Basically, I craved the freedom to be my own boss.

I was also driven by the desire to leverage my legal expertise directly for my clients. Now, I have the freedom to build a practice that prioritizes both exceptional results and fostering genuine connections with my clients.

What aspect of your business are you most passionate about? (history, conversation pieces, etc.)

The law can be a stressful and confusing world, and I believe in creating a space where my clients feel heard, understood, and even a little relaxed. That might mean putting on some music and taking a breather together, or simply having a conversation that goes beyond the case. In my experience, these connections lead to better outcomes and, frankly, make the whole process a lot more enjoyable for everyone involved.

Is there something unique about your business that you’d like to share that most people wouldn’t know about?

Being a boutique law firm allows for a more client-centered and personalized approach.

What sets your business apart from other similar businesses?

The empowerment and advocacy we employ at Egan Law Center is unmatched. I say this with confidence because it’s true. I understand that every divorce is unique. Whether a client prioritizes a collaborative approach or decisive actions, I can tailor my strategy to their specific needs and goals. I also turn down clients that aren’t the best fit for the practice. I believe a consultation should provide time for the client and the attorney to ensure they’d make a good partnership.

Divorce and other legal matters are often stressful and involve sensitive information. A client needs to feel completely comfortable and trusting with their attorney to openly discuss the details of their case. A consultation allows them to assess the attorney’s communication style, personality, and level of understanding.

Do you have a goal you want your business to achieve in the next one, 5 or 10 years?

My goal is strategical growth. Complacency is not in my vocabulary.

Why do you love the Greater Cape Ann region and doing business locally?

I love Greater Cape Ann because it’s my home, where my heart is, and where I choose to raise my family. I value my reputation within the communities the Chamber serves, and I strive to conduct myself in a way that ensures longevity and trust. I support fellow businesses and enjoy serving on the Chamber’s Board of Directors and co-chairing the Businesswomen’s Committee. I have to be a bit more selective in my involvement these days and have turned down other organizations, but the Chamber is something that I feel very strongly about supporting.

As someone doing business in this area, how has or how can the Chamber help your business?

There is a plethora of opportunities with the Chamber.  There are super active committees comprising various sectors of businesses and ways to be involved. Networking events are fun and informal ways to meet people, promote your business, and create referral partnerships. The Chamber does a TON of advocacy for local businesses, too, that most are unaware of.
