Mowlavi Law founder and managing attorney, Paris Mowlavi, is a California-licensed corporate attorney with 14+ years of experience serving as trusted counsel to startups, founders, and investors. She specializes in helping early-stage and high-growth companies navigate formation, financing, governance, and day-to-day legal operations with confidence and clarity.

Paris has built a solo law practice that feels more like a strategic advisory firm - partnering with visionary entrepreneurs to scale their companies, protect their IP, and close deals. From serving as general counsel through multi-million dollar acquisitions to structuring investor equity pools and licensing IP portfolios, she brings both technical legal expertise and founder-minded insight to the table.

In recent years, Paris has expanded her focus to include advisory and in-house roles with venture and private equity-backed, mission-driven startups - particularly those supporting women founders, consumer brands, or creative innovation. Her goal is to combine her legal skillset, entrepreneurial perspective, and passion for mentorship to drive business impact at scale.

Paris obtained her J.D. from University of Southern California - Gould School of Law and her B.A. in Political Science from University of California - Irvine. She is licensed to practice law in California.
