Utah Startup Legal Counsel Is Now Part of Allen Law
You may have arrived here looking for Utah Startup Law. That practice began in 2015 with a focus on helping entrepreneurs and small businesses grow — and that work continues. I still assist clients with business formations, contracts, and governance, providing practical support for owners and founders at any stage. At the same time, my practice at Allen Law now includes estate planning, asset protection, and business succession, allowing clients to align their personal, family, and business goals for the long term.
About Utah Startup Legal Counsel
Utah Startup Legal Counsel was founded in 2015 by David Kerr to provide affordable, practical legal support for entrepreneurs and small businesses. The goal was simple: make quality legal guidance accessible to growing companies without the overhead of a traditional law firm model.
Estate Planning
At Allen Law, we help families and individuals protect what matters most. From wills and trusts to tax planning and asset protection strategies, we design plans that provide security for both today and tomorrow.
Business Succession
For many clients, a family or closely held business is more than an investment — it’s part of the family legacy. My experience in business law, including time as in-house counsel for a company navigating business acquisitions, raising funds, and securities, allows me to integrate these business interests into the estate planning process. We focus on creating succession strategies that preserve value, maintain operational continuity, avoid conflict, and support a smooth transition to the next generation, grounded in the practical realities of closely held businesses.
A Business Perspective on Estate Planning
My background with startups and small businesses gives me a practical understanding of how companies operate and grow. At Allen Law, I use this experience to help clients structure their businesses and estate plans in a way that supports long-term family and legacy goals, whether they are just starting a business or managing one that has been in the family for generations.
Serving Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses
Helping entrepreneurs and closely held businesses remains a central part of my work. At Allen Law, I continue to provide guidance on formations, contracts, and governance, giving founders and owners practical legal support. This business experience also informs estate and succession planning when clients wish to integrate personal and business objectives — but the business practice stands independently, fully serving those who are focused solely on business matters.
Next Steps
Whether you are planning your estate, building or managing a closely held business, or thinking about long-term family and business legacy, our team at Allen Law can provide guidance and practical solutions. We help clients navigate the legal and strategic aspects of protecting assets and planning for the future.
