Kurt Watkins | Founder
Kurt Watkins specializes in corporate governance and transactional contracts. His expertise is in providing tools and insights needed to generate revenue, attract talent, and create success in the long-term.
Because companies’ legal needs, circumstances, and resources are rarely the same, Kurt works closely with each client in order to best align the interests of outside legal with those of the company – both in the short and long term. This holistic approach and flexibility allows owners to trust that their attorney is working in their best interests.
Kurt is deeply passionate about technological innovation particularly blockchain and artificial intelligence. Throughout his practice, Kurt has grappled with the novel and nuanced legal issues created by innovation. Before starting out on his own, he was an associate at a national and regional law firm, primarily focused on technology transactions and privacy matters. Kurt understands that a lawyer must address these issues with an understanding of both the law and technology.
Kurt has been published by trade magazines and routinely sought out to speak on panels and individually on the impact emerging technologies are having and will have on traditional industries as well as novel legal pathways for emerging technologies to flourish.
