Kansas City Business & Transactional Lawyer

Berger Law Firm advises businesses and nonprofit organizations on corporate, limited liability company, and nonprofit transactional law. Most business owners do not need a large firm. They need an attorney who understands the deal, returns documents quickly, and says plainly when something is a problem.

How we engage

We scope the work and quote a flat fee wherever the work allows, so your legal cost is a known number instead of an open meter. You work directly with your attorney. There are no case managers and no handoffs.

Your first consultation is free.

General information only, not legal advice, and not a substitute for counsel on your specific situation.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of work do you handle?

Corporate, limited liability company, and nonprofit transactional law. In practice that means the contracts a business runs on: services agreements, licensing, employment and contractor agreements, equity purchases, commercial leases, and corporate governance documents.

Do you work with nonprofits?

Yes. Nonprofit organizations have governance and contracting needs that differ from for-profit companies, and we advise on both.

How do you charge?

We scope the work and quote a flat fee wherever the work allows, so the cost is a known number before we start. Your first consultation is free.

Do you work with small businesses and startups?

Yes. A deliberately small caseload means an early-stage company gets the same direct attorney attention as an established one. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
