Who We Are
Corporate branding, legal protection & creative solutions — under one roof.
The PLK Law Group is a boutique law firm specializing in corporate branding, legal protection and creative solutions, providing a one-stop shop to enhance brand readiness. We are a New Jersey law firm that brings together top lawyers focusing on all aspects of transactional law in the areas of intellectual property, entertainment and sports, small business and corporate law, and contract drafting, negotiating and enforcement.
Our Mission
Protect the brand.
Educate the founder.
Under the direction of Patricia Lawrence Kolaras, we work to protect, educate and ultimately grow our clients' businesses — translating complex law into clear, actionable strategy.
Our mission is to educate clients about the legal impact of their business practices and to communicate the complexities of the law in a way that our clients appreciate and understand.
We recognize that the core of any company is its brand, and that a brand's foundational support lies in intellectual property protection. In addition to enforcing client rights in State, Federal and Circuit courts, our firm strives to maximize client brand value with creative packaging, development and overall aesthetic enhancements. This unique combination of legal expertise and entrepreneurial spirit has led to the closing of valuable deals for our clients.
The PLK Difference
Three principles.
One way of working.
Boutique by design, sophisticated by training, creative by instinct — built for founders, entertainers and athletes.
Educate, then execute.
We teach our clients how to protect themselves so every decision compounds in long-term brand equity.
Maximize brand value.
Trademark, copyright and contract strategy aligned with how you actually go to market — not a templated playbook.
Direct senior counsel.
No layers, no junior hand-offs. You speak with the attorneys actually doing the work.
