The Kendra Law Firm isn’t a new economy firm by nature but many of TechTown’s new economy firms would have a much harder time without it.
The 7-year-old company provides all of the advice and work that makes all of the legal mumbo jumbo read less like Greek and more like English for the business incubator’s start-ups.
"It's really helping the entrepreneurs set up the company," says Gary Kendra, president and founder of
Kendra Law Firm.
He knows what he's talking about. He served as the lead legal beagle for Ann Arbor-based start-up Genomic Solutions. He helped shepherd it through the incubation process until it went public in 2000. A few years later he was on his own, starting Kendra Law Firm.
The
TechTown-based firm employs three people, including a paralegal who is a Wayne State University law student. He hopes to hire a few more people in the next year or two. "As TechTown grows, I hope to help fuel that growth," Kendra says.
