About Alyssa J.
Alyssa J. Devine earned both a law degree and an MBA from Indiana University. She received her J.D. from the Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 2020, where she studied intellectual property law. She also completed an MBA at the Kelley School of Business in 2020, adding formal training in business administration to her legal education.
After completing graduate school, Devine took the academic grounding into practice. She is admitted to practice in Tennessee and New York. Those dual licenses allow her to serve clients across different business environments and regulatory settings. Her legal work draws on both the doctrinal training of law school and the strategic thinking stressed in business school.
Devine’s practical interests lie at the intersection of intellectual property and commercial concerns. She handles matters that require both an understanding of technical rights and an ability to assess commercial value. That combination appears in counseling on trademark issues, advising on copyright questions, and negotiating agreements where IP and business terms meet. Her background in business administration shapes how she frames risk and opportunity for clients.
Her approach to cases is methodical. She identifies the legal issues, frames them in commercial terms, and outlines options that can be presented to decision-makers. She works with small and mid-sized enterprises, as well as individual creators, helping them understand how legal choices affect business outcomes. Her work often involves drafting agreements, reviewing licensing arrangements, and advising on strategies to protect intangible assets.
Peers describe Devine as practical and attentive to detail. She tends to prioritize clear explanations over legalese. Clients who are not steeped in intellectual property law find that her business training helps make tradeoffs easier to grasp. She also brings a project-oriented mindset to legal work, setting milestones and deadlines so matters move forward steadily.
Devine practices at Purple Fox Legal. There she provides counsel on IP and business matters, combining legal analysis with commercial perspective. As of 2026 she is licensed in Tennessee and New York and continues to advise clients on intellectual property and business law issues.
