Lisa V. Nelson

I believe an important part of creating sustainable, just, inclusive communities in Ohio is to empower forward-thinking entrepreneurs and community leaders. As the principal at Positive Law LLC, my goal is to provide Ohioans with affordable legal and business services, education, and connections to community resources to help ensure successful mission-driven, sustainable enterprises that are good for their workers, their communities, and the planet. I especially enjoy helping women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs start and grow successful, sustainable enterprises including worker-owned co-ops and other cooperative enterprises. Connecting and creating is what I love to do. Having worked with families, children, businesses, organizations, and community partners for over 25 years as an advocate, attorney, mediator, educator, and community event organizer, I am committed to helping conscientious people get up to inspired, innovative and regenerative enterprises in Cleveland and throughout Ohio. Cooperation, collaboration, and sharing are all tenets of making the world and our individual lives better. Together I believe we can lift one another, share resources, respect one another and the earth, and develop good things in our communities. Together we will thrive and be resilient.
