The story of Simple Legal Guides

AvatarKyle Welch is an attorney in the State of California who currently specializes in licensing and intellectual property. When Kyle was in law school, he was adamant that legal concepts were easy to understand if approached with innovation, imagination, and creativity.

Frustrated with thousands of pages of material and intentionally obscure explanations for what were simple concepts at their core, he knew there had to be a better way...

 

So Kyle decided to start Simple Legal Guides. 

The unique experiences Kyle has had in his career make him specially qualified to be the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Simple Legal Guides. View his profile on LinkedIn.
