Legal and Accounting Services

Access to legal counsel and professional business accounting advice is essential to success. In Kentucky, both the legal and accounting professions are well represented in all areas of practice.

Law firms in Kentucky vary in size and the specific areas of legal practice. For example, some firms specialize in commercial and corporate law, assisting businesses with acquisitions, sales and impact analysis, protection of trade secrets and intellectual property as well as securities, pension and retirement and other local, state and federal regulatory concerns.

Because Kentucky, specifically Lexington, is the Thoroughbred Capital of the World, many firms specialize in equine law, dealing with horse-related transactions and litigation. Some other key areas of specialization are banking, government relations, estate planning and trusts, taxes, international law, and general litigation.

With federal courts located in many communities and the state supreme court and appeals court located in the state capital of Frankfort, attorneys in many firms are admitted to practice before the Kentucky Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, the United States District Court, Bankruptcy Court and the United States Supreme Court.

With a similar breadth and depth of experience, Kentucky's accounting and tax professionals span a wide range of services. Firms range from single-person practices to branches of international firms. The Kentucky Society of Certified Public Accountants takes a proactive approach to keeping its members informed and educated on the latest developments in tax and estate regulation.

Kentucky knows the importance of providing accessible and competent services in the legal and accounting industries.
