Kennedy Luce provides a wide range of business law services, all aimed at helping your company grow and maintain continued excellence and success.
Regardless of industry, we can represent you, as we have experience representing a wide range of businesses across numerous fields. From start-ups and entrepreneurial ventures to established, long-standing businesses, we provide legal services. Additionally, we understand that new and early-stage businesses have different needs than our larger, established clients, and we will tailor our services accordingly.
Aside from our business law practice, Kennedy Luce serves as “outside general counsel” to a wide range of businesses that lack dedicated legal staff. In this role, our firm takes a hands-on approach, maintaining constant contact with company leadership and leveraging our experience and knowledge to support the company effectively and efficiently.
Kennedy Luce also facilitates the hiring of law firms that may be required in a specific transaction that we ourselves do not handle. For example, if a business we represent is involved in securities or labor litigation, we will assist in retaining a firm that specializes in these areas and aligns with our firm's beliefs and our clients' expectations.
Finally, we understand questions or concerns about legal fees and, as such, offer a variety of fee arrangements for business clients, including deferred payments and monthly retainers.
