Our Services

Outside General Counsel and Legal Operations
K&S serves clients in various stages of growth. For our clients with no attorneys on staff we act as general counsel and provide a full-service legal team where needed. For our clients with an in-house legal team, we act as a strategic advisor and round out their existing legal department with specialists and junior support. We also advise clients on legal operations and assist them in building out an efficient legal department. Specialties in our General Counsel practice include corporate governance, labor & employee benefits, intellectual property, consumer packaged goods, real estate, tax, equity financing and mergers & acquisitions.

As a firm focused on emerging technology companies, K&S supports the legal aspects of a company’s go-to-market and scaling strategies. This includes intellectual property licensing, complex commercial agreements, outsourcing arrangements, day-to-day commercial agreements and company policies. Our attorneys help clients develop a frictionless sales process and balance mitigating business risks with meeting commercial goals. We pride ourselves on getting deals across the finish line on time and on budget.
Privacy and Data Protection
K&S privacy and data protection specialists guide a company’s executive team and department leads in creating and managing a cohesive data governance strategy across the business. We provide product counsel, advise on commercial terms and partner with our clients to develop and implement risk-appropriate compliance practices. K&S also works with its clients to identify privacy risks and opportunities to share with a company’s board and key advisors.
