Meet the Founder

Big-law sophistication.
Boutique-level care.

Patricia founded PLK Law Group to bring the rigor of an AmLaw practice to founders, entertainers and athletes who deserved better than a templated playbook.

She is recognized for guiding clients through the legal moments that define a career — from first trademark to franchise.

Practice Areas

Four disciplines.
One integrated team.

We move at the speed of the businesses we serve and protect what makes a brand singular. No silos. No handoffs. No surprises.

A Note From the Firm

We believe the next generation of iconic brands won't be built by lawyers or creatives — they'll be built by both, in the same room, talking about the same horizon.

Patricia L. Kolaras · Founder & President

By the Numbers

A boutique footprint.
A heavyweight record.

Two decades of disciplined counsel — measured not by headcount, but by outcomes for the founders, performers and brands we serve.
