Legal Services for Kansas City Businesses
We help you at every stage of business. Whether you’re starting, scaling, or planning your next move, we make sure your business is ready.
Build Your Company
While business support and intellectual property protection often take companies to two separate firms, Foundry offers both service areas in-house. We see your initial business foundation and your asset protection as part of your company’s larger story, and our model integrates the two accordingly. Our dual capacity and holistic approach ensure your big-picture legal plan is cohesive, sustainable, and aligned with your vision for your business.
Protect Your Brand
We’re excited to help you elevate your business. As you grow, protecting your brand, your data and assets is crucial. We’ll assist with essential steps like contract drafting, personnel management, data security compliance and best practices, and intellectual property protection. By working closely with our network of CPAs, patent agents, and financial advisors, we ensure a smooth transition through this growth phase, keeping your company strong and secure.
Transform Your Business
We know that restructuring, merging or selling your business can be an exciting and challenging process. We recognize the hard work you’ve put into building a great business, and we focus on creating a transition strategy that works best for you. Foundry works closely with your team to ensure your needs are met and your assets are protected, every step of the way.
Kansas City Business Lawyers with Entrepreneurial Spirit
We started in Seattle, working with startups, inventors, and fast-moving companies. We learned how to protect bold ideas, guide growth, and build businesses that last.
That experience shaped us. It taught us how to think like entrepreneurs, not just lawyers. It showed us the value of speed, flexibility, and big-picture planning.
In 2023, we brought that spirit back to Kansas City. Here, business feels different. Deals aren’t just about numbers. They’re about relationships, trust, and community. We understand that, because this is our Founder’s hometown.
With a national perspective and local roots, we give Kansas City businesses the best of both worlds. You get forward-thinking legal strategies shaped by big-city innovation, delivered with the accessibility and care Kansas City is known for.
We know the risks. We know the late nights. We know the goals that keep you moving. That’s why we don’t just advise. We join your journey, side by side.
“Madhu is someone I consider to be a mentor and community leader. She is an outstanding model of an entrepreneur-attorney who finds unique ways to get to know her clients on a very personal level. I’ve witnessed first hand, as Foundry’s Of Counsel Patent Attorney, to see how well she serves her clients. She and her team are world class.”

Frequently Asked Questions
