Serving Employers & Employees with Legal Services You Can Trust

Headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, we work with businesses and professionals across the Commonwealth, providing practical, forward-thinking legal counsel. Our attorneys bring deep expertise across a range of practices and industries, including labor and employment law, corporate law and business transactions, and litigation in state and federal courts, administrative agencies, and arbitration.

We built our firm with a fresh perspective, rejecting the outdated model that forces attorneys to choose sides: plaintiffs or defendants, employers or employees, individuals or businesses. Life is not that simple, and neither are the challenges our clients face. By intentionally representing clients on both sides of the table, we gain the well-rounded insight needed to see the full picture, anticipate risks, and negotiate for solutions that work.


Spanning startups and Fortune 500 companies, executives and employees, family businesses and corporations, we’ve gained a balanced vantage point. We know how contracts impact both parties. We know the pressures business owners face and the vulnerabilities employees encounter. We use that knowledge to deliver counsel that is not only strategic but also pragmatic, cost-effective, and tailored to each client’s goals.

At the end of the day, our mission remains simple: provide vigorous yet transparent representation that resolves problems, protects what our clients have built, and positions them for what comes next. Whether we are negotiating contracts, guiding businesses through transitions, or advocating in the courtroom, our commitment never wavers. Every client. Every matter. Every time.
