Ellakisha O’Kelley — The Ownership Attorney™ for Sports Professionals, Creatives, and Founders with a dedicated focus on first-gen visionaries.
Ellakisha O’Kelley is an ownership attorney, author, 2x TEDx speaker, podcast host, and former elite track and field athlete who turned life’s hurdles into a framework for legal empowerment.
At the helm of Scire De Jure® Legal Firm, she serves serious clients ready to build protected legacies through strategy, structure, and ownership. Her boutique firm is not just where legal meets lifestyle, it’s where ideas become protected assets, and protected assets become lasting wealth. She helps her clients to "Own Your Gold™" - ideas, talent, brand, and voice.
With over 30 years of real-life experience in high-stakes arenas — from being an Olympic alternate athlete to tackling entertainment deal-making — she brings a rare blend of athletic discipline, legal precision, and business strategy to every client interaction. She has helped hundreds of clients secure their rights, protect their brands, and close 7- and 8-figure business deals, turning their talent into equity and opportunity through IP protection, licensing, and secure contracts.
You may have seen her work in Georgia Bar Magazine, Voyage ATL, Canvas Rebel, Rolling Out, and many more, or heard her voice on panels for Microsoft’s Women of Color in Film, Music, and Television, Pinky Cole’s American Sesh, or the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs. As the author of two legal empowerment books and the host of the Seek ELLAvation® podcast, she is on a mission to increase knowledge and power and to elevate visionaries' positions to compete with confidence.
Through her Gold Standard Ownership® philosophy, she provides tailored legal options that align with where you are in business — from grassroots hustle to global growth. Whether you need contracts, an IP strategy, entity structuring, a full-service legal partnership, or legal education, she will help you move from hustle to heritage with protection, power, and clarity.
She brings passion from experience, as she is also a proud first-generation high school, college, and law school graduate. "I know what it means to beat the odds and build something real. That’s why I’ve made it my business to help you do the same with every legal move aligned to your next big leap. With a special place in my heart for First-Gen achievers."
