Career

Drawing upon 30 years of legal experience including 18 years serving as a federal prosecutor, Kevin Feldis works with corporate boards and executives to identify business opportunities, mitigate risks, resolve disputes, and respond effectively when unanticipated challenges arise. He routinely conducts sensitive internal investigations and helps clients skillfully navigate state and federal government subpoenas and civil and criminal enforcement actions. Kevin is also a trusted advisor when responding to cyber incidents, liaising with law enforcement, and seeking recovery of digital assets.

As a leader in the firm’s energy and cleantech industry groups, Kevin leverages his knowledge of both traditional and emerging technologies, as well as regulatory compliance and investor due diligence. In this capacity, he works closely with the Perkins Coie Emerging Company and Venture Capital group. Kevin also counsels clients on sustainability, ESG, supply chain and corporate social responsibility programs, disclosures, and compliance, and advises regarding carbon credits, offsets, and emission reduction benefits.

Prior to joining the firm, Kevin worked for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), including serving as the Criminal Chief and First Assistant United States Attorney in Alaska and the DOJ resident legal advisor at the U.S. Embassy in Azerbaijan (2006 – 2008) and in Indonesia (2016 – 2017). He was also a member of the Criminal Chiefs Working Group and the National Security Cyber Specialist Network and served as a representative on the DOJ Environmental Crimes Policy Committee. Kevin led high-profile grand jury investigations, first-chaired numerous jury trials, and was recognized for his accomplishments with the U.S. Attorney General’s prestigious John Marshall Award.

Kevin works with leading companies across a range of industries, including technology, transportation, energy, education, natural resources, cryptocurrency, and finance. He also advises on the latest legal regulatory developments involving Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) and digital assets. Kevin's experience working in Asia and handling international matters also makes him uniquely positioned to advise clients entering the U.S. market and to assist businesses with cross-border issues.

Kevin is frequently called upon to lecture, train, and present on corporate compliance, environmental enforcement, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)/anti-corruption, DOJ enforcement policies, incident response, and cybercrime. He has experience working with a wide range of regulators and law enforcement agencies around the world and co-authored a comprehensive chapter in From Baksheesh to Bribery: Understanding the Global Fight Against Corruption and Graft (2019, Oxford University Press) on the legal framework for combating corruption in Indonesia with members of the Indonesian KPK anti-corruption agency. Kevin has also taught as an adjunct law professor and instructor at dozens of U.S. and international programs, where he has trained hundreds of lawyers, investigators, and prosecutors.

Kevin is an experienced trial attorney who has served as lawyer representative to the Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference and is an active member of the Perkins Coie White Collar & Investigations practice group and the Cleantech, Fintech, and Energy industry groups. He also participates in the firm's China, Japan, and Asia practices.
