Milos Jekic decided he wanted to be a lawyer while he was still in high school. He was drawn to the variety that comes with being a lawyer, and enjoys getting to know a client’s particular situation and needs. His goal is to provide you with practical and straightforward advice to solve your unique challenges. He has a wide range of experience representing both small startups and larger, more established companies. This makes him a unique Kansas City attorney that can help you no matter what size company you are.

A deep understanding of technology and intellectual property. While many lawyers intentionally avoid technology and intellectual property matters, Milos enjoys the challenges of working in such unique areas of the law. Specifically, he works with multiple clients on intellectual property matters related to copyright, trademark, and unfair competition, including facilitating strategic management and growth of domestic and foreign trademark portfolios; licensing and monetization of intellectual property assets; trademark clearance, prosecution, maintenance, and enforcement; and copyright registration, maintenance, and enforcement.  Milos has also drafted and negotiated numerous agreements that focus on intellectual property and technology issues, including licensing, development, master services, reseller, and confidentiality agreements. Further, if you are building and running websites and mobile apps, he can help ensure you have the proper terms of use, privacy policies, and other legal disclaimers posted to keep your business safe. Related, he loves using technology in his legal practice. This makes him more efficient and a better partner all-around.

• Purchase of all of the stock of a company that sells passive thermal protection products and provides associated services;
• Merger and reorganization of an accounting practice to restructure and facilitate more flexible business operations.
