Outstanding trial lawyers must be prepared to fight and to win. Truly outstanding trial lawyers also never lose sight of the overarching goal — to achieve the clients' objectives of resolving a dispute. At Kegler, Brown, Hill & Ritter, our trial lawyers are well-known for their aggressive, thorough and successful representation of clients in the courtroom and for their outstanding results in trials. They are also extremely successful and creative in finding effective resolutions of disputes short of trial — settlements that achieve our clients' objectives without the cost and travail of a courtroom battle. Whether by means of settlement or trial, the attorneys at Kegler Brown will guide you through the litigation process with skill and attention to achieving your goals.

Advising clients on methods to prevent litigation and to reduce the risk of an adverse result through proper documentation and creative settlement techniques are key to the success the firm has enjoyed. Kegler Brown attorneys work closely with clients and in-house counsel on the substantive aspects of each case and on litigation cost control. Our attorneys are also experienced in alternative dispute resolution techniques including arbitration, mediation and mini-trials.

This considerable experience has enabled our trial attorneys to successfully:

• defend a Fortune 500 company in a lengthy federal court jury trial in which the plaintiff was seeking damages in excess of $500 million

• recover a multimillion-dollar settlement on behalf of a major university in a protracted construction dispute

• participate in one of the longest jury trials in Franklin County history

• protect a hospital from millions of dollars in malpractice claims

We have handled cases involving nearly every subject of litigation, including breach of contract, fraud, securities, insurance, malpractice, international disputes, environmental litigation, constitutional rights, administrative enforcement actions, defense of corporate directors and officers, challenges to administrative rule making, labor and employment, construction, real estate, personal injury, product liability, libel and slander, trade secrets, patent and trademark infringement, unfair competition, mortgage foreclosures, banking, health care, antitrust, bankruptcy, white collar crime and probate.
