Kevin helps employers manage and compensate employees lawfully, while upholding high performance standards, identifying and mitigating legal risk, and defending litigation.
More About Kevin
Kevin defends and advises businesses on a wide array of workplace law issues. He is particularly well-versed in federal and state wage and hour laws (e.g., overtime, exempt classification, independent contractor classification, meal and rest breaks, and predictive scheduling). Kevin helps his clients tackle day-to-day needs relating to these issues, and he defends them in the event of litigation.
Kevin’s aptitude in counseling employers derives from his litigation experience. He has spent nearly 15 years defending employers facing single-plaintiff, collective action, and class action lawsuits, as well as government investigations. Kevin and the attorneys with whom he partners have secured denials of collective/class certification, won dismissals and summary judgments, and secured trial court and appellate victories in “bet the company” cases and on issues of first impression.
Drawing upon his litigation experience, Kevin helps businesses peek around the corner to proactively identify and mitigate risk. From designing plans to assessing compliance with thorny and fast-evolving workplace laws and regulations to crafting policies, trainings, and communications to attack legal risk, Kevin partners with his clients at every step. He also leans on his litigation experience in advising businesses of all sizes and growth stages on day-to-day employment issues that command real-time analysis and practical solutions.
Kevin is known for his innovative, collaborative, and multidisciplinary approach to solving problems. He is well-networked across the firm and routinely leverages the assistance of colleagues across offices and practice groups to provide the best possible solutions for his clients. This includes not only other lawyers across the platform, but also Seyfarth’s broader bench of skilled professionals, such as project managers, labor economists, and software engineers. Kevin is also keenly focused on leveraging technology to improve the delivery of legal services and teaches the course “Innovation in the Practice of Law” at the University of Georgia School of Law.
Kevin took a unique path to employment law, first earning his undergraduate degree in accounting, spending three summers interning for a Big Four tax firm, and devoting the first chapter of his legal career to tax law. These experiences molded Kevin into an attorney who is as comfortable developing a detailed exposure analysis as he is training front-line managers on best employment practices.
Kevin and his wife, Lindsay, are the proud parents of two sometimes behaved young boys and a 10-year-old puppy. When he's not working, teaching at UGA Law, or spending time with his family, Kevin can be found on the ice hockey rink, the Peloton, or at the baseball field with his kids. Kevin’s ice hockey team, the Crustaceans, won its rec league championship in 2016 (and has failed to make the playoffs each season since).
