ABOUT

Founded in 2004, Kennelly & Associates has been finding solutions for its clients from the courtroom to the boardroom.  The firm has many years of experience in not only navigating the challenges of contracts, regulation, and lawsuits but fashioning unique solutions.  The firm is committed to effective communication of our clients’ position be it before a judge or in the media.  We provide new approaches to problem solving, which preserves our clients' resources while meeting their needs.

The first question we ask all clients is, “Where do you want to be after the issue?”  From that simple question, we are able to map out a path from the often-chaotic initiation of an issue to a solution often better than our clients think possible.  We maintain our focus on the result, until the result becomes your reality.
