Kathy led us through the process to purchase a property we had been renting, and advocated fairly and professionally for us with an unusually intractable seller. We were novices, but Kathy still respected our wishes to waive certain items because we did have confidence in the seller, who had been our landlord for five years. When Kathy broke her shoulder, (an e painful event) she missed only two days of work--in the hospital! As I learned of her situation and suggested she take time to heal, she said "My clients have contract deadlines to meet. I cannot let them down." I admire and respect Kathleen Hyneman and will consult with her again when the need arises.
I am a business attorney that can offer you big firm experience and boutique firm personal and timely attention. My clients are owners of small to medium size companies and I can do everything to assist them to navigate the legal aspects of the business, from starting with a solid legal foundation, working with my clients on creating a plan for moving the business forward, performing a legal analysis of the business to ensure they are in compliance with applicable laws, which mitigates risk. This helps protect against potentially costly legal issues, so my clients can sleep well at night. I will ensure that they have the necessary contracts to protect their business and review the intellectual property assets to see that they are properly registered and owned by the company. Think of me as the quarterback of your business team. I will connect you with other services you may need, such as a bookkeeper, insurance agent, accountant, payroll company, financial planner, etc.
My primary focus is to work with business owners regarding succession planning. Business owners want to get the right value for the business. Taking actions to build the business so that it continues to grow year after year is necessary. This can be through increased sales and decreasing expenses. Getting into a complementary business, either through a joint venture or through a strategic acquisition can boost the value of the business. Â I will work with you through the sale or purchase of a business, from assisting in getting the right team together to be sure the right value is placed on the business, connecting you with reputable business brokers who will be invaluable if you are selling a business, conducting legal due diligence, and negotiating and drafting the sale documents. Â I had many years of experience working as lead counsel on certain sales and acquisitions during my time working with Comcast Corporation in Philadelphia.
I use my experience as General Counsel of Comcast's venture capital to provide assistance to business owners that are seeking venture capital investment, analyzing the terms of the investment and reviewing, drafting and negotiating the terms of the venture capital investment. Â

Extremely Professional!
It has been such a pleasure working with Kathy. When we first met, we had several issues we presented to her. She was able to assess our situation, prioritize a strategy, and address each issue in an efficient manner. Kathy has exceptional listening skills with strong attention to detail. She questioned every legal gap in our dialogue in order to give us sound legal advice. We knew we needed guidance and we are so glad we found Kathy, she has gotten us back on the right track! She is without a doubt this company’s go to attorney. Highly recommended!

Could not have been more pleased!
My husband and I recently became the proud owners of a business we purchased. It has been a whirlwind the past few weeks, but we were so glad to be working with Kathy because she really made it as easy as possible for us to go through the whole process! I have told so many people about how happy we were with Kathy and her services over the past few weeks already and let them know if they ever need a recommendation for a business attorney I'd highly recommend her! We felt very comfortable working with her! We loved how on the ball she was with everything, took the lead on dealing with everyone and making sure we were covered in any possible scenario. We really appreciated her attentiveness through the whole experience and felt very confident going through the whole process knowing Kathy had our best interest in mind and was being so thorough. We were extremely pleased with our experience with Kathy and my husband was very happy I picked such a good attorney. Thank you for everything Kathy!

Great lawyer for small businesses
Very happy with the services of KHNETIC! Kathy is responsive, prompt, informative and patient with even the smallest of questions or needs. For a small business owner, this is greatly appreciated! Kathy has helped me with a myriad of things surrounding the expansion of my business and acquiring commercial property, including setting up a new LLC, recrafting subcontractor agreements and business waivers, answering questions about hiring, etc. I feel secure having her in my corner as I expand the business and step into a new business chapter!

LLC Creation
I did quite a bit of research online about experiences with various law offices & attorneys prior to calling KHNETIC Legal. After doing so I called Kathy. Kathy qualified my needs, addressed concerns that I'd had and provided sound legal advice to setup my LLC. The level of professionalism and efficiency my needs were treated with were unparalleled. Kathy's pricing was fair and reasonable for what I was asking of her. I already have, and will continue to recommend her services to other business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs.

Outstanding!
I found Kathy online based on her reviews. I engaged her to help me with the sale of my business. She exceeded my expectations! She is not only the best attorney I have ever worked with but probably the most skilled and proficient professional I have met and I have very high expectations of people. She turned last minute requests around within 24 hours, sometimes less, and has excellent experience and input. I would recommend Kathy with no hesitation. Thanks Kathy for all you have done!

Asset purchase.
Great and personable attorney. Honest and diligent, didn't hesitated to promptly and aggressively represent me with a business purchase when the seller and his broker became dishonest. She will do the same for any client.
