Hello, my name is Collin Donaghy. I am a current 2L at Elon University School of Law. I attended Virginia Tech for undergrad and received a degree in Professional and Technical Writing. After graduating from Virginia Tech and working for Siewers Lumber and Millwork for a year, I moved to Greensboro to pursue a career in law.

During my time at Elon Law, I have had the privilege of participating in the Business Law Association, which provided me with the opportunity to hear from and speak with entrepreneurs and attorneys actively engaged in the practice area.

I chose to pursue a career in law because of the opportunity it provided for me to be an involved community member, as well as an avenue to assist members of my community in seeking justice for themselves, loved ones, and their passions. Elon has given me the opportunity to be engaged in my community, while focusing on real-world application of classroom skills. After graduation, I hope to attain a career working in Intellectual Property law, specifically assisting small businesses and entrepreneurs to protect the original works and ideas.

During my 1L summer, I returned to Richmond and interned at Sinnott, Nuckols & Logan, PC, focusing primarily on insurance defense work and personal injury claims. This upcoming summer, I am returning to the same firm with a more involved role in handling claims, communicating with clients, and being involved in litigation.

I am excited to be a part of the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Clinic as a student attorney and look forward to assisting local businesses in entity formation and establishment, and intellectual property applications.
