Happy New Year and Happy Black History Month from SEED Law!

Please allow me to introduce the first issue of the SEED Law monthly newsletter. Here we’ll share business law articles and resources, upcoming events, and highlight the successes of our clients and team.

The mission of SEED Law is to partner with entrepreneurs and business owners to provide legal solutions that encourage sustainable business practices. We work with some of Kansas City’s best, from startups to awardees and alumni of our most prestigious awards and programs. To continue to serve our growing client base, I am proud to welcome attorneys Melika Harris, Theodore Hughes, and Cecile O’Hara to the firm. Please visit the website to meet the team.

Since our founding in 2015, we have prioritized active engagement in the Kansas City’s entrepreneurial community and regularly provide pro bono assistance and business law workshops. We continue to offer SEED Law Community Office Hours at the KCKCC Entrepreneurial Innovation Center and you can receive updates about classes and workshops on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

We look forward to working with you this year.
