She handles a wide variety of business issues including website domain names, litigation disputes, copyright protection, business formation and dissolution to name a few. “I counsel clients on how to better protect and grow their brands using technology and the law. Occasionally, I get to help them determine what companies they should start or acquire. My practice is unconventional, and that’s the reason I had to create a new term to describe it.”Currently, Kendell's practice focuses on counseling private and corporate clients in set-up, protection, strategic planning, monetization and liquidation of intellectual property assets. As an entrepreneur and business owner, Kendell treats clients as if their business and legal needs were her own.In addition to her practice, Kendell is also a sought after public speaker and social media darling that as been featured in US News & Word Report, Crain's Chicago Business Report, Uptown Magazine, Metro Mix, and a host of other publications and websites.Specialties: Intellectual Property - Patent, Trademark, Copyright, Licensing, Franchising, Social Media, Mobile, etcSports, Music and Other Entertainment
