About Victoria
Victoria Ashworth
Your Business Deserves a Lawyer Who Gets Business.
I spent the first eight years of my career at a top-tier Manhattan law firm, advising Fortune 500 companies on M&A, corporate governance, and complex commercial agreements. I learned the law inside and out — and I learned that most small and mid-size businesses were being left behind. In 2021, I founded Ashworth Legal to bring big-firm legal expertise to founders, startups, and growing companies — without the big-firm price tag or the impersonal experience. Since then, I've helped over 150 businesses navigate contracts, fundraising, partnerships, IP protection, and compliance. My approach is proactive, not reactive. I don't wait for problems — I structure your legal foundation so problems never arise. And when they do, I fight hard and negotiate harder.

What Our Clients Say
Business owners who sleep better at night knowing their legal foundation is bulletproof.
"Victoria saved us from a partnership agreement that would have cost us millions. She spotted three critical issues our previous lawyer missed entirely. She's the sharpest legal mind I've worked with."
Ryan Castellano
Founder, Castellano Ventures
"We raised our Series A with Victoria handling all legal. She negotiated terms that protected our founding team and kept investors happy. The term sheet alone was worth ten times her fee."
Priya Mehta
CEO, NovaBridge AI
"Victoria rewrote all our client contracts and vendor agreements. Since then we've had zero payment disputes — down from four per year. She thinks five steps ahead."
Elena Vasquez
Founder, Vasquez Events
"Our IP was our biggest asset and we had zero protection. Victoria filed our trademarks, restructured our employee IP agreements, and built an NDA framework we still use today."
Marcus Chen
CTO, DataForge
"I was involved in a commercial lease dispute that could have shut my business down. Victoria negotiated a settlement in six weeks that my previous attorney couldn't achieve in eight months."

Owner, Kowalski Properties
