Big Firm Expertise, Small Firm Attention
Craig Associates, P.C. offers a sophisticated level of legal counsel typically associated with large, multinational law firms, but with the agility and personalized service of a boutique practice. Located in the Waldo neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri, the firm specializes in Business Law, Commercial Real Estate, and Estate Planning. The Kansas City office is led by Bernard J. "BJ" Craig, an attorney with an MBA who spent the early part of his career handling complex securitized credit facilities and development projects at large corporate firms. He brings that high-level experience to privately held businesses and individuals, offering strategic advice that goes beyond the basics.

Today, Craig Associates serves as outside general counsel for many local businesses, helping them navigate every stage of growth-from initial Business Formation to complex Mergers and Acquisitions.
