Flying High with Jets, Hockey, and IP Law | ELP 07 Kelly Burris

Brendan Walsh

In this episode, we sit down with Kelly Burris, an Intellectual Property Attorney, pilot, and founder of Burris Law. Kelly’s journey spans from the ice rink at Western Michigan University, where she celebrated a National Championship win, to the skies as a licensed pilot, and now to the courtroom protecting innovation and invention.

We talk about her love for aeronautical engineering, the discipline it takes to fly, and how that same mindset translates into building a successful law practice. This one’s packed with stories of grit, curiosity, and the drive to keep pushing boundaries — whether in the air or in business.
