"I came to Kasowitz as a sixth-year associate to develop my skills as a trial lawyer. I have been on multiple trial teams and have examined witnesses on the stand, argued motions in limine, and contributed to opening and closing statements."

Olga L. Fuentes Partner

"I've represented big companies and small ones, as plaintiffs and defendants, in state courts, federal courts and bankruptcy courts. Along the way I am gaining the skills and experience to become the successful litigator I want to be."

Edward E. Shapiro Associate

"I joined Kasowitz as a fifth-year associate in its intellectual property litigation group. I have had an important role in a jury trial in federal district court, and the opportunity to take a leading role in patent litigation cases in the software, telecommunications and pharmaceutical industries."
