The breadth, depth, and credentials of K&H’s complex civil litigation team is unusual for a small firm. We have one of the top litigation/trial practices in Atlanta, and it is a magnet for extraordinarily talented and credentialed lawyers. Our practice encompasses appeals (winning over 75%), business torts, contracts, corporate governance, franchise, intellectual property, officer and director, professional liability, RICO, trade secrets, and securities cases. We have handled everything from class actions to individual cases.
All of the partners and associates in this group previously worked at large firms including some of the most highly regarded firms in the country such as Williams & Connolly, Fried Frank, and Wilmer Hale. Most of our litigation lawyers have clerked for federal judges. We regularly handle high profile matters that have been written about in publications including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Tampa Tribune, Raleigh News & Observer, Gainesville Times, Atlanta Business Chronicle, and the Fulton County Daily Report among others.
Jeff Horst leads this team, and he has been consistently recognized over the years by Chamber’s Guide to best lawyers for business (Jeff is one of very few small firm lawyers to be recognized), Atlanta Magazine Super Lawyers, and Georgia Trend Legal Elite. Jeff was one of the principal trial lawyers in a 5 month jury trial selected by the National Law Journal as a top defense verdict of the year.
Unlike many much larger firms, our lawyers regularly try cases before federal and state courts and arbitration panels. We have tried cases in 6 states, many of them multiple week trials, and have represented clients in approximately 17 states where we have taken a substantive role. We represent both plaintiffs and defendants from individuals to large, publicly traded companies.
Much of our work comes from referrals from general counsels or other lawyers. Why?
