I've always been captivated by the journey people take to discover their life's true calling. While we often hear about the famous founders and trailblazers, there are countless others who toil away each day, quietly pursuing their dreams. They build, they grow, they stumble and pick themselves up, all without the spotlight of fame, finding immense joy in the simple act of getting things done.

I found my life's purpose at the age of 40. Now, I'm determined to spend the next forty+ years on a journey of building, growing, failing, and learning, surrounded by a diverse group of rebels who share my passion. Together, we aim to push boundaries and contribute to making the world a better and more fascinating place.

The bite of Big Law mobilized for good | Entrepreneur & Troublemaker | Startup Sherpa | Estates Maven

"Yeah, and who the hell are you?"

I'm Batm…Er – hi, I'm Owen. I help small businesses (and the people who run them) navigate legal stuff without feeling like they've accidentally wandered into a Kafka novel. I'm technically a lawyer, yes, but I got out of Biglaw before the molting was complete—before I started talking in passive voice and billing people for my own confusion.

So, I run a law firm. I know. That's not the kind of sentence that usually gets people excited. But hear me out.

I started Seed Counsel because, somewhere along the way, I realized that most law firms are...well, they're kind of the worst. They charge by the minute, they act like they're doing you a favor, and they treat "being a human being" as a sign of weakness. It's like going to a haunted house where every room has another invoice in it.

I didn't want to be that guy. So I became this guy instead.

I work with startups and early-stage businesses and most of my time goes toward helping business owners feel less alone. I give advice without dressing it up in Latin words. I explain things like a person. I don't bill by the hour, because time is imaginary. And I meet on Zoom so you never have to put on pants with buttons.

I used to work at Very Serious Law Firms™. The kind where people talk about "synergies" and bill clients just for thinking about their names. I left when I realized the business of law had stopped being about helping people and started being about winning at bonuses.

Now? Now I try to do things differently.

I live in Pittsburgh. I'm married to a woman much smarter than me. We had two Airedales; now we have one, who's either a genius or just very committed to the bit. I used to be pretty good at guitar but get worse every year. I read too much. I've nearly died a few times, which isn't even a joke, and probably explains why I care so much about doing something that matters and not wasting time on nonsense.

Also: I write novels. And essays. I run a Substack where I talk about law, business, literature, music, politics, and my occasional existential spirals. It's all part of the same project: making sense of this weird, beautiful mess of a world and maybe, just maybe, helping a few people along the way.

If you're building something, protecting something, or just tired of wondering whether lawyers are a real species or just a trick of capitalism—let's talk.

Founder & Resident Troublemaker

Seed Counsel by McGrannLAW LLC is a firm dedicated to working with startups, early-stage, and small businesses exclusively.

Although technically a law firm, I have made damned sure Seed Counsel doesn't do business like any firm you've worked with before. With an offering of three levels of subscriptions and flat fee packages, your startup has access to an experienced startup attorney without any of those heartstopping surprise invoices.

I've designed the operations of the business to align and partner with our customers' businesses, allowing us to empower true startups and to embed with established startups and small businesses to provide ongoing, consistent counsel.

Just imagine an attorney who understands your business, can sit in on executive meanings and competently discuss product lines (while understanding the politics of the team), and understands that, "No, we can't do that" is a last resort rather than an opening pitch.
