Careers
Kellogg Hansen attracts and retains the finest legal talent to join us in a high-energy and challenging practice that encourages teamwork and camaraderie. From its inception, the firm has been based on the idea that, if given the opportunity, talented young attorneys not only can handle substantial responsibility but also can produce outstanding results. In addition, by the end of the year, associates — including many who started at the firm in 2021 or 2022 — took or defended more than 50 depositions. These cases are not exceptions. We are confident that the opportunities available at this firm — to play an integral part in challenging litigation — are unrivaled anywhere else in the country.

Rachel DeLisle, Geoffrey Block, Katherine Tondrowski, Matthew Wilkins
Questioned multiple witnesses during a successful 5-day preliminary injunction hearing on behalf of FuboTV and against Disney, Fox, and Warner Brothers Discovery. The judge repeatedly remarked about how happy and impressed she was with young attorneys arguing in the proceeding.
FuboTV Inc. and FuboTV Media Inc., v. The Walt Disney Company, et al
Derek Reinbold and Matthew Reade
Secured rehearing en banc and argued a case about appellate jurisdiction over waiver-based remand orders in the Fifth Circuit.
Abraham Watkins v. Festeryga
Successfully argued for partial reversal of a district court’s dismissal on behalf of a pro bono client, with the Ninth Circuit reviving the client’s First Amendment and Equal Protection claims against a prison chaplain in his individual capacity. However, the court upheld dismissal of the RLUIPA claim, citing binding precedent that bars monetary damages under RLUIPA against state officials individually—an issue now pending review by the U.S. Supreme Court (23-1196).
Fuqua v. Raak
Successfully argued in an opposition to summary judgment that defendant pork producers were involved in a conspiracy to fix pork prices.
In re Pork Antitrust Litigation

Namdar v. Immutable Holdings Inc.
Briefed a motion to compel discovery from a commercial healthcare insurance carrier, and argued the motion in federal court. The magistrate judge ordered the respondent to produce documents in response to all but one document requests.
FTC v. U.S. Anesthesia Partners, Inc.
Argued and won reversal of a district court’s summary judgment dismissal on behalf of a pro bono client who was seeking to have workers’ compensation benefits restored. The case was wrongfully removed from state court, and the Ninth Circuit remanded it to where the client properly filed.
