NOT? LENKNER MINDSET PLANTIFF’S LAW 2.0: EXCELLENCE, ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION

For the most promising business startups, creativity, innovation and experimentation are critical elements of success. But what about success in law? It seems counterintuitive to associate a startup mentality with a profession that relies on staunchly traditional models of practice and function. But this is exactly the sort of unconventional thinking that has led to the rapid success of Keller Lenkner. Since its launch in early 2018, Keller Lenkner has grown at a lightning pace. Today, the firm has more than three dozen attorneys and 60 professional staff. Its lawyers hail from AmLaw25 firms, elite trial boutiques and federal appellate and district-court clerkships. And they use their legal acumen to craft groundbreaking complaints against opioid manufacturers, 3M, Facebook, DoorDash and Google – from securities class actions to product liability MDLs to entirely new practice areas. Lawdragon sat down for a roundtable with the Keller Lenkner team to understand the strategic, growth-oriented mindset behind their mission and culture – a mindset that has allowed the firm to earn the respect of the nation’s elite judges and top-gun plaintiff lawyers, and to build a high-performing business infrastructure to provide their clients with unparalleled service.
