Founder & Attorney

Sage Porter Smith.

The Attorney

My work covers business and transactional matters, commercial and civil disputes, privacy and data, and the custom technology built for clients.

Most matters implicate more than one of those at once. A dispute implicates governance. A data practice implicates compliance and valuation. A transaction depends as much on the relationships behind it as on the documents that record it.

Before opening the firm, I spent more than three years consulting independently on artificial intelligence and business strategy, and worked inside and alongside law firms, banks, wealth management firms, and marketing firms.

That range is why a contract, a dispute, a data question, and a new entity can be handled in one place.

Education

J.D., University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Law. B.S., Washington University in St. Louis.

The practice

Porter Smith Law is a deliberately limited private practice. The docket is kept small so that each matter receives sustained attention, and so that correspondence, analysis, and strategic decisions come from me directly. Areas of practice and the approach are described on the main page.
