KBK has received numerous honors, including being ranked among the state’s top white collar defense and investigations firms and the state’s top media and entertainment litigation firms by the prestigious Chambers and Partners legal ranking company. The Legal 500, which surveys some 300,000 clients and corporate counsel for its rankings, has repeatedly recognized KBK’s media and entertainment and white collar practices as among the best in the nation. KBK is also regularly recognized among the nation’s and state’s top firms for its Dispute Resolution practice by Benchmark Litigation, and the U.S. News-Best Lawyers Best Law Firms lists KBK as one of the top firms in the nation for our appellate practice. The latter publication also lists KBK as one of the best in Los Angeles for our appellate practice, commercial litigation, entertainment law and white collar defense. In addition, the state’s leading legal publication, the Daily Journal, has twice honored KBK as one of the Top Boutique Law Firms in California, and JD Journal has listed it as one of Los Angeles’ Top Boutiques.

We earned these honors for the litigation of complex trials and appeals for top corporations, law firms, public entities, executives, board members, artists, and entrepreneurs. We have successfully represented a roster of industry-leading clients, including 19 Entertainment, Ascent Media Group, Creative Artists Agency (CAA), NBCUniversal, Pabst Brewing, Paramount, Viacom, composer Hans Zimmer, and many more.

KBK is the law firm lawyers turn to when they need representation.

They are creative advocates in both government investigations and at trial.

Our team has successfully defended publicly traded and privately held companies and their officers and directors, as well as individuals, including judges, politicians, civic leaders, and entertainment and sports figures against government claims of wrongdoing. We have expertise in a wide range of areas, including public corruption, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, financial securities, health care and tax fraud, environmental crimes, workplace safety, False Claims Act, procurement fraud, consumer fraud, and antitrust matters.

At KBK, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing complicated business and regulatory disputes. In every matter, we focus on providing the highest quality legal counsel by understanding each of our clients and accomplishing their individual goals. By establishing long-term client relationships and putting our clients at the center of our work, we are able to achieve outstanding results time and again.

We pursue efficiency not by cutting corners, but by combining our experience, insight, and judgment with an understanding of our clients and their business challenges.

As a result, KBK is regularly retained by high-profile clients to perform cutting edge legal work in high-stakes litigation, including entertainment and media litigation, intellectual property litigation, complex commercial litigation, legal malpractice defense, employment litigation, white collar defense, government investigations, internal corporate investigations, and appellate advocacy.
