Career

Edward T. Kang, managing member of Kang Haggerty LLC, focuses his practice on business litigation and disputes involving commercial entities. Holding an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell, he is recognized in the 2025 edition of Chambers USA for his excellence in general commercial litigation across the Philadelphia & Surrounding Regions.

As part of his business litigation practice, Edward carries expertise in a variety of areas, including contract disputes, business torts (such as fraud, tortious interference, and unfair competition), civil RICO, antitrust, and breach of fiduciary duty. Edward also focuses on “business divorce,” such as shareholder and partnership break-ups. He has represented both majority and minority interest holders in such disputes and believes in resolving these disputes as quickly as possible through negotiation and resolution. When litigation proves necessary, however, Edward is prepared to represent his clients through trial and on appeal if needed.

Edward is a certified Panel Member of the American Arbitration Association for Commercial Litigation.
