Kahn Kleinman's Litigation Practice Group is composed of business-oriented lawyers with trial experience in disputes regarding business contracts, mergers and acquisitions, technology, securities, intellectual property, engineering design, environmental contamination, industrial processes, real estate, zoning and land use, labor, employment, trusts and estates, construction, tax, and bankruptcy issues.

Counseling clients to structure their organizations and transactions to avoid litigation, or to build in alternative dispute mechanisms into documents, is an important goal for every attorney in the firm. We seek to maximize your recovery and minimize your exposure.

In every litigation, we continually assess the amount or issue in dispute, the probability and cost of "winning," and the cost/benefit to you. Our goal is practical, not emotional. Winning means something different in each litigation, but it should always be a rational analysis to maximize the achievable in what is usually an emotionally-charged conflict. Our litigators understand the importance of focusing on your business needs and objectives during the litigation decision-making process.

When litigation is necessary, our attorneys know how to win. We have argued successfully before state and federal trial, appellate, bankruptcy, and tax courts, including the United States and Ohio Supreme Courts. We also practice regularly before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), EPA, National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), IRS, OSHA, zoning and planning authorities, and other governmental agencies.
