Kempner

Firm attorneys look to me to dissect all existing data related to a case and help build the most clear and convincing path to success.

Overview

Lawrence (Larry) P. Kempner brings years of experience to his corporate governance, securities fraud and consumer protection practice.

As one of the longest standing members of our team, Larry assumes leadership roles in a case’s discovery process, including overseeing teams who review and categorize our case-related databases, sometimes comprising hundreds of thousands of case documents. He is frequently consulted when a particularly nuanced investigation is needed to help develop and support case theories and he takes particular pride in piecing together sets of data into case-breaking patterns of conduct. Colleagues appreciate his perseverance, attention to detail and willingness to take on the hard issues.

Prior to joining G&E, Larry was engaged in private practice with a concentration in civil litigation. He has authored numerous legal publications, including books on evidence and discovery practice.
