Focused on Business

Founded in 1954, KMK has grown from a three-attorney firm to over a 110-attorney firm while maintaining a single office in Cincinnati, investing in technology that enables its attorneys to serve clients across the country instead of increasing overhead with additional offices. Chambers has recognized KMK as a leading law firm in Ohio in corporate/mergers & acquisitions, general commercial litigation and bankruptcy/restructuring.

The firm's client roster represents a wide variety of industries, including companies like AK Steel Corporation, American Financial Group, Cintas Corporation, Fifth Third Bank, GE Aviation, Chiquita Brands, Macy's, Meridian Bioscience, AtriCure, Wal-Mart Stores, McDonald’s and the Procter & Gamble Company, to name a few. The firm also represents a number of startups, middle-market companies, non-profit organizations and venture capital firms—areas that have been a focus of the firm since its inception when it grew alongside several of its earliest and long-standing clients, such as American Financial Group, Cintas and Belcan Corporation.

In Cincinnati, U.S. News has rated many of KMK's practices as Tier 1 – including commercial litigation, corporate law, employee benefits law, labor and employment law, management, mergers and acquisitions law, real estate law, securities regulation and securities/capital markets law, tax law, trademark law and venture capital law, among others.
