Lori Beam helps individuals and businesses successfully develop contractual relationships to launch, maintain and grow their businesses.  She has a knack for writing contracts that clearly and plainly establish the negotiated terms, which then helps ensure receipt of the bargained for items and services, guides implementation, minimizes interpretation disputes, and limits her client’s liability.   Embedded in the contracts is a deep understanding of contract law as well as her client’s business operations and the industry-specific laws that govern.

Your go-to attorney for contracts of all types.

She has drafted, negotiated and reviewed thousands of contracts over the last 25 years for small and large businesses, emerging and established, for-profit and non-profit, in a broad range of industries including healthcare, retail, technology, sports and entertainment.  The contract types are equally diverse including those common to most businesses and industries, such as entity formation and governance documents, employment and consulting arrangements, joint venture agreements, merger and acquisition contracts, supplier contracts, purchase and sale contracts, technology acquisition (purchase, subscription, software as a service and license). They also include a wide range of documents specific to the healthcare, advertising and marketing, and other industries.

Having earned her MBA at the same time as her JD degree, she is known for her good judgment often acting as a business counselor as much as a legal advisor.  And she negotiates using a practice style that gets the deal done – pushing hard for terms of importance to the client, compromising when needed without giving up key elements and in a way that does not unnecessarily drive up legal fees.  She understands the need to be readily available to her clients and prides herself on turning documents to her clients quickly. She offers a unique contract writing and negotiation ability you can’t get from most attorneys.

A professional advisor for those in marketing and advertising.

Lori’s has substantial experience in the marketing and advertising industry representing retail sellers, as well as those who are active in corporate sponsorships, such as sports teams.  Furthermore, after working in the marketing world for years, where deadlines are tight and approval is needed yesterday, she understands the importance of a quick turnaround and delivers prompt and effective solutions.  To stay on top of advertising and marketing trends and activities, she is actively involved in the Kansas City Direct Marketing Association and currently serves on its Board.

Serving the health care industry with sound counsel.

Throughout her 25+ year career, Lori has helped hospitals, physicians and other health care providers with a broad range of business contracts and issues.  She has deep experience and knowledge of the Anti-Kickback and Stark laws which impact nearly all contracts and activities of health care providers.  She helps them recruit and retain the services of health professionals as owners, employees and independent contractors, establish managed care contracts with government and commercial health plans, purchase or lease property and equipment, acquire electronic health systems, and otherwise perform business functions in the highly regulated health care industry.
