Shannon took her first major role as an associate attorney with a firm in West Palm Beach, Florida where she had the privilege to act as Managing Counsel for one of the largest mortgage servicing companies in the country. But what you see is not only what you get with Shannon. She is a competitive bodybuilder with a fierce passion for health and fitness. In her practice, Shannon has had the honor of working with both large and small companies protecting their intellectual property, and acting as outside general counsel. She built her practice helping various social media influencers and brands understand commercial contracts, sponsorship agreements and the value of their intellectual property assets. She has provided insight to fitness brands and creative companies on how to ensure their brands are legally protected, and regularly provides counsel on FDA labeling requirements as well as other compliance issues in the fitness and nutrition industries. While at Creedon PLLC, Shannon successfully settled a multi-million dollar class action for one of her clients in the dietary supplement industry, and has helped secure hundreds of trademarks for clients with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
