When starting a business, entrepreneurs need to jump through several hoops. The success of a venture depends on the idea as well as the execution. However, its stability and security depend on the legal foundation being solid. This is where business law plays a crucial role. While business law is an essential part of any startup establishment and business growth, the ‘billable hours’ model has significantly limited access to necessary resources for entrepreneurs who are already strapped for funds.
For such entrepreneurs, spending a significant amount on legal fees is not viable. This often acts as a deterrent for them, limiting their reach to expert legal guidance. Breaking away from this chain, Bagla Law Firm, APC is setting new records in pioneering a way for entrepreneurs to gain access to the right legal counsel without the ‘billable hours’ model. Established in 2009, Bagla Law Firm is a San Diego, California based business law firm that’s changing the face of business law, one client at a time. Bagla Law Firm. was started with the little guy in mind. Kelly’s FLAT RATE FEE system gives a straightforward, no nonsense, breakdown of “services requested / services received” that keeps everyone on the same page and affords clients the ability to side-step the usual countless ‘billable hours’ route.
Attorney Kelly Bagla, The Pitbull In Pearls
After completing her graduation from England, Kelly decided to move to America to pursue her ‘American Dream’. Her dedication, good grades, and razor-sharp focus through her Law School years in Northern California awarded her an opportunity to work with one of the leading global law firms as a corporate attorney. After working at the firm for some time, Kelly realized that this was not part of the ‘Dream’ – working for the Boss Man. She wanted to establish her own niche and, in the process, help save entrepreneurs, in her own little way.
We rely on 18 years of grit and developmental understanding of our own capabilities to assure that if we ‘promise the world’, we deliver on our promise – Kelly Bagla, Esq.
Being privy to the way the business law system works, Kelly realized that there was no way a humble startup could make it in the industry without a ton of money. As Kelly asserts, “As I watched the ‘big business legal industry’ ‘nickel and dime’ every entrepreneur trying to get their start, I could see the flaws in the system. I began to realize that the system set in place was designed to make it damn-near impossible for the “little guy” to get their start and have a fighting chance at success.” This is when she decided to embark on a whole new adventure of laying the foundation for Bagla Law Firm, which would espouse a flat-rate fee system to serve as the business law firm for all entrepreneurs.
Apart from being a celebrated international award-winning corporate attorney, Kelly is also a best-selling author, Host of the ‘Go Legal Yourself’ podcast (get the App, it’s free), TV personality, and speaker. Her contribution to the field of business law has earned her accolades like Business Woman of the Year by the San Diego Business Journal, Corporate Attorney of the Year by Acquisition International, Top Transformational Woman Leader by Industry Wired Magazine, and several others. Under her guidance, Bagla Law Firm has made the cover of issues like Most Recommended Law Firms to Watch in 2022 by Mirror Review Magazine, the 10 Best International Law Firms to watch for in 2022 by Inc Magazine, and many others.

Espousing a Caring Outlook
While most firms proclaim a customer-centric approach, at Bagla Law Firm this is more than just a canonical tenet in the foundational charter. As Kelly puts it the culture at the firm is best captured by the words, “Fresh, Caring, Customer-Based, Accepting, Tenacious, Adaptable, Pitbull’s in Pearls.” The team knows that dealing with legal issues and navigating the maze of legalese can be a daunting affair. Worrying about the competence of one’s legal counsel can further add to this burden. At Bagla Law Firm this is not an issue clients face.

I believe that success isn’t measured in ‘dollar signs’; And happiness isn’t measured in ‘likes’ on social media. Our creator, or ‘Bestie’ as I prefer to refer to him, has a heavy hand in every aspect of my life – Kelly Bagla, Esq.
While Bagla Law Firm offers services in only 12 areas, the team is best in what it does in each of those areas. The firm believes in no compromises when it comes to expert-level skills and guidance. Upholding the highest degree of integrity, Kelly feels absolutely comfortable referring clients to peer attorneys, if she feels that the expertise of the firm is limited given the legal situation in question. Thus, the firm onboards clients only if it is sure that it can render them the highest levels of expertise in the concerned area.

Changing Landscapes and Bagla Law Firm’s Role
No industry was immune from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The same is true for the judicial system that’s now facing a severe backlog of cases, lengthy time delays, and a new category of cases with mitigation criteria unique to the post-pandemic world. Similarly, the pandemic also accentuated retrenchment rates, resulting in a manifold increase in job security concerns. This, in turn, pushed people to take matters into their own hands and start business ventures. This is where Bagla Law Firm plays an important role. The firm has made its expertise available to budding business owners and startups to ensure that they get the right guidance to best fulfill their goals. Leveraging over 18 years of experience in the legal field, the firm ensures that it delivers on its promises.

She is also launching her third business venture- ‘Pitbulls ‘n Pearls’, the coaching company for people who mean business and love life. This venture will provide both live and online expert coaching classes on a range of topics from business startup guidance to personal growth.
Looking to the Future
With the ongoing success of the firm, the future looks promising and bright. Given the unmatched customer service guarantee of the firm, its lengthy years of experience, and its dedicated team, client requests for onboarding are currently exceeding the available bandwidth of the firm. As Kelly puts it, “I’d say our greatest current challenge is: Having more work to do than there is time in the day. Here at Bagla Law Firm, we stay busy. But that’s a good thing!” To meet such enhanced demand for its top-notch services, Bagla Law Firm has recently hired a new associate and will continue expanding its team in the near future to cater to this increased demand.
The firm envisions a future where it continues to serve the community, welcomes people from all walks of life, and continues doing what it does with as much gusto and zeal as today.

In five years, we’re still going to be doing it right. Tried and true, the Bagla Law Firm way works!’
