About

Provided by Kabat Chapman & Ozmer LLP

Kabat Chapman & Ozmer (KCO) is a unique firm, combining the personalized attention and efficiency of a mid-sized firm with the experience and resources of a larger practice. A significant portion of the firm’s work is focused on the West Coast, particularly California, where its attorneys routinely defend clients in high-stakes, complex matters. KCO has a proven track record handling over 150 class, collective and PAGA employment actions in California alone, with only two of those cases surviving class certification. This successful track record includes countless dispositive motion victories, jury trial wins, voluntary “walk-away” dismissals, and highly favorable settlements.

KCO’s California team brings extensive experience in defending its clients, including numerous Fortune 500 companies, across a wide range of industries. The firm’s experience extends beyond litigation, offering valuable consulting services, including training, day-to-day legal advice, policy reviews and internal investigations. This integrated approach to both litigation and strategic consulting allows KCO to provide clients with comprehensive, tailored legal support designed to navigate the unique challenges of California’s dynamic legal landscape.
