Exceptional guidance on a complex partnership dispute

Kent Hayden provided outstanding counsel during a contentious partnership dissolution. Despite his relatively recent graduation from Washington University, his command of commercial litigation was immediately evident. He meticulously analyzed our operating agreement and market position, crafting a strategy that avoided a costly public trial. His recognition in commercial litigation is well-deserved. Kent’s professionalism at Kirkland & Ellis and his clear, strategic thinking resulted in a highly favorable settlement. I was consistently impressed by his responsiveness and ability to explain complex legal nuances with clarity.
