Make decisions based on your risk tolerance, not your lawyer’s.
the truth is ...
Almost everything in your business involves some level of risk.
You can’t put your business in a risk-free legal bubble and expect it to grow to its full potential.
But we can help you fully understand the potential risks of your next move and support you in whatever you decide.

Meet
Kate Kliebert
(KLEE • bear)
​I’m Kate, a business lawyer protecting fast-growing businesses.
My favorite way to work with entrepreneurs like you is through my firm’s fractional general counsel service, which lets you access our expertise on demand.
I’m passionate about creating real relationships with my clients so I can give you timely advice that acknowledges the realities of running a business.
I love working with clients who are future-focused and proactive. When you’re focused on growth, you’re not always looking for the most conservative or the safest thing to do.
You want to know the risks and benefits so you can weigh your options. I provide the easy-to-understand, legally-sound information you need to make the best decisions for you and your business.



In my spare time,
I enjoy scuba diving
Exploring the mountains with my dog, Stella!
and photographing wildlife.
Pictured to the right are Stella and a fun-loving sea turtle I recently had the pleasure of diving with, along with a one of many bird shots I've captured
