I am so fortunate to be able to use my broad business law knowledge and experience to help innovators and entrepreneurs like you create the shared ownership enterprise you envision and grow the cooportunity economy we need. I share your mission.
Kathleen Gregg
I have been supported in my study and practice of cooperative law the last five years by a generous community of peers through my legal fellowship with the Sustainable Economies Law Center and my membership in the Cooperative Professionals Guild, a nonprofit professional development group for cooperative legal and accounting practitioners that I helped reorganize in its current form and for which I served as membership circle and website co-coordinator for two years.
In addition to my cooperative law know-how and connections, my clients benefit from my previous two decades of business experience working at law firms and as in-house counsel to conventional companies of all sizes, from start-ups to multibillion-dollar international corporations, on matters ranging from strategic partnerships, commercial transactions, product development, contracts, licensing, securities and debt financings, to regulatory matters, governance and dispute resolution. You can find more about my work on LinkedIn.
My many years of practicing conventional business law have prepared me to help you build your own different kind of enterprise, with respect and appreciation for your values in prioritizing the people who power it.
I look forward to working with you.
Postscript for employee cooperators
Even now in 2024, the 20th anniversary of the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives and nearly the 40th anniversary of Massachusetts’ adoption of the first employee cooperative statute in the country, most practitioners and students in law, accounting and business remain unaware of the worker cooperative model for democratic ownership and control of businesses. That was also true of me and most of my current cooperative law colleagues for far too long.
