Carolyn Elefant

Founding Attorney & Change-Maker @ Law Offices of Carolyn Elefant

In her day job, Carolyn owns the Law Offices of Carolyn Elefant, a national practice founded in 1993 that fights climate change where Carolyn has argued cases of constitutional import. She also founded and served as legislative counsel for the Ocean Renewable Energy Coalition from 2005-2014, a 55-member national trade association responsible for the early commercialization of offshore renewables in the United States.

In addition to practicing, Carolyn created the blog MyShingle.com, which is the longest-running blog on solo and small law firm practice. She is responsible for helping thousands of lawyers launch their own firms. Dubbed the patron saint of solo and small firms, Carolyn writes and speaks on topics including starting a modern law firm in the digital age, how small firms can leverage technology to compete with large firms, the need for regulatory and ethics reform to ensure the sustainability of small law firm practice, and the role of woman-owned law firms in achieving gender equality in the legal profession.

In May 2023, she began teaching a course for lawyers empowering them to use emerging AI tools within their practice. These tools can help them set their firms up quickly and affordably while they master basic tech tools at the same time.
