My name is Carlson, and I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the states of Tennessee and New Hampshire. I earned a Masters of Environmental Law and Policy at Vermont Law & Graduate School, and am nearing the end of an LLM in Energy Law and Policy. I founded Eco Demo in 2022. 

I have a background working on cooperative corporations and renewable energy policy. Prior to law, I worked in food security, on teaching farms, and in intentional community. Liberation philosophies and permaculture led me to study environmental law, then energy, then cooperatives, then energy cooperatives. Now you're all caught up. 

By promoting economic democracy from the ground up, we change the paradigm from an economy that maximizes value through extraction, to an economy that is marked by sustainable, equitable growth. Whether economic or ecological, resilient systems respond positively to change as they generate equity, equitably. 

The cooperative corporate form is a powerful tool to empower consumers and producers to communicate directly about values beyond and including profits. I started looking for cofounders in 2024, yes you! I envision Eco Demo Law becoming a cooperative law firm, where a community of otherwise solo practitioners hold a common brand oriented toward cooperative development. The movement toward a just economy lacks significant transactional presence. Let's change that together!
