Julie Christine King

I'm a solo practice attorney in Champaign, Illinois. I focus on business law (corporation, partnership, and limited liability company formation and operation; business transactions), intellectual property (patent, trademark, and copyright registration, maintenance, and licensing, and trade secret protection), and estate planning (wills, trusts, powers of attorney). I grew up in Champaign and am a proud graduate of the University of Illinois College of Law. The purpose of my practice is to help you plan for and navigate through various life and business stages and events. If you are a client, you can be assured I will work to address your unique needs and goals, whether you are an individual with simple one-time needs or a business with ongoing concerns.

I have over 20 years of experience in working with clients, from individuals to large businesses, to help them with life stage planning, business planning, intellectual property protection, and other legal matters. My “proactive planning” approach to my practice means that I work with clients to carefully develop plans of action to help achieve their personal and business goals as smoothly as possible and avoid common problems as they move forward. Time spent creating and executing thoughtful plans is a sound investment compared with having to deal with time-consuming and costly problems that could have been avoided.
