ABOUT KSM

Every Business Should Have a Trusted Legal Advisor in Their Corner.

A Practical Approach to Legal Services

As a leader, you deserve a legal advisor who truly understands your business and provides practical, cost-effective solutions. Unfortunately, finding such a firm can be difficult, as big firms often over-lawyer and small firms may lack the resources. 

At KSM, we believe you shouldn’t have to settle for attorneys who complicate simple matters and rack up billable hours without providing real value. You deserve a partner who can offer straightforward, practical advice that aligns with your business goals. 

We understand that it’s crucial that your attorneys deliver value that makes a real difference to your bottom line because we’ve been in your shoes. 

Our team isn’t just well-versed in law; we have extensive experience in the business world too. It’s what inspired us to form our firm in 2012. Since then, we’ve helped hundreds of organizations and executives make smart legal decisions to start, protect, and grow their ventures. 

With robust experience in the greater Nashville area, we can help you successfully navigate the legal landscape of this city and beyond.

Don’t wait for challenges to arise. Proactive business setup is key to long-term success. Our firm specializes in guiding businesses from the ground up, ensuring they’re well-prepared for whatever the future holds. Experience the difference of a partner who deeply understands the practicalities of running a business. Schedule a consultation today.

Experience You Can Count On

Pricing legal services isn’t one-size-fits-all. While it’s impossible to say, “This will cost X,” without knowing more details, we can give you an idea of the different ways fees are determined so you have a frame of reference for what to expect and provide estimated costs for different projects.

Experience You Can Count On

Experts estimate that 1 in 1,000 lawyers has tried a class-action lawsuit. Our litigation team includes that rare individual.

  • Extensive Trial Experience: Collectively we have tried dozens of civil cases in state and federal courts, including class-action lawsuits.

  • Deep Knowledge of Tennessee Courts: We have extensive experience in Tennessee’s state and federal trial courts, as well as the Tennessee Court of Appeals, Tennessee Supreme Court, and Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

  • Skilled Advocates: Our team’s hands-on experience in both written and oral advocacy makes us uniquely qualified to handle complex litigation matters.

Sophisticated Business Experience

The odds of a lawyer serving as general counsel for a Fortune 500 Company are roughly 1 in 2,500. Our business service team includes that rare individual.

  • Diverse Experience: One of members held senior-level positions in large multinational companies, both as General Counsel and a business leader with direct P&L responsibility.

  • Crisis Management Expertise: We have advised companies facing major corporate crises, providing guidance on both legal and business matters.

Our Values

Clients’ Needs Come First

If the client needs something, we will be there. If the client needs it by tomorrow morning, we will get it done. This value also drives delegation – assignments are based on who is best suited to handle a particular task; assignments are not based on title, or seniority, or who will get “credit.” Everything flows from what is best for the client.

We Solve Problems

At the most basic level, we are problem solvers. We understand that our clients come to us for help, often with difficult situations. They need guidance and thoughtful action. Our job is to listen to the clients’ objectives, collaborate with them, and work toward the best solution.

Relationships Matter

The foundation of effective legal representation is trust. And trust grows from relationship. Moreover, we truly care about the people we work with and for. Both internally and externally, the team is important. Our clients’ problems are our problems, and we treat them as such.

We are Easy to Work With

Lawsuits, employment issues, and negotiating contracts are difficult. Part of our focus is making difficult experiences less difficult. This starts with simple things like returning phone calls and emails in a timely manner, but it extends to walking alongside our clients when things are tough. And if we need to pivot, we do. We are flexible, and we find solutions.

We Do First-Rate Work

This item is listed fifth, but it is the cornerstone of what we do. Klein Solomon Mills, PLLC is a group of high-caliber attorneys with big-firm credentials and experience, who have elected to come together with a set of aligned values for how we want to serve our clients and work together. We recognize, however, that we are measured by performance, not potential. So every day, we strive to produce first-rate work.

Everybody Makes the Copies

In a small firm, there are times when we literally must make our own copies. But this value means more than that – it means unselfishly doing whatever it takes to put our best foot forward. A great example is provided in Netflix’s Culture Manual, which explains: “There are companies where people walk by trash on the floor in the office, waiting for someone else to pick it up, and there are companies where people lean down to pick up the trash they see, as they would at home. We try hard to be the latter, a company where everyone feels a sense of responsibility to do the right thing to help the company at every juncture. Picking up the trash is the metaphor for taking care of problems, small and large, as you see them, and never thinking “that’s not my job.”

Everyday is an Opportunity to Get Better

As a firm and as individuals, we strive to improve. This value is a reminder that every day is an opportunity to learn something, and we should never be content with the status quo.
