WHITE PLAINS, NY (April 17, 2015) Jackson Lewis P.C., one of the country’s largest and fastest-growing workplace law firms, is pleased to announce it has expanded its Mountain States presence by opening its 55th office in Salt Lake City, Utah. Shareholder Conrad “Shawn” Kee, formerly resident in Jackson Lewis’ Denver and Stamford, CT offices, has relocated to the new office. The firm plans to add additional attorneys in the near future.
“Salt Lake City has been an attractive market for Jackson Lewis for years, as we have a number of clients with a significant presence there,” said Firm Chairman Vincent A. Cino. “We look forward to expanding the office and developing its synergies with our existing Mountain States offices in Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Albuquerque, and we are confident that Shawn’s demonstrated ability to do high quality legal work and his familiarity with the region will catch the attention of local businesses and attorneys as we work to grow the office.”
“Having worked with employers and litigated cases in Utah for over 20 years, I have witnessed the tremendous growth in the state and I am honored to help plant the Jackson Lewis flag in Utah,” said Kee. “Utah is regularly ranked as having one of the best business climates in the country, has a dynamic and diverse economy of Utah-based and global companies growing locally or moving operations to the state, and this is a great opportunity to leverage our national expertise and local presence. I look forward to growing the office and further solidifying our position as a leading workplace law firm in the region.”
Mr. Kee, who has been recognized as a “Leader in His Field” by Chambers USA, has served as lead counsel defending employment lawsuits brought by high-level executives against their former employers and has represented employers in affirmative litigation asserting claims for violations of employment agreements, theft of trade secrets, unfair trade practices and unfair competition. Mr. Kee is one of the most experienced management-side lawyers handling claims under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and has handled dozens of USERRA matters around the country. Additionally, Mr. Kee has handled several purported whistleblower litigation claims and investigations under the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the False Claims Act.
Mr. Kee is a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve. During 2005, Mr. Kee served in Iraq as the Staff Judge Advocate (i.e., General Counsel) for the 1st Corps Support Command (Airborne) at LSA Anaconda, the largest military installation in Iraq, located in the Sunni Triangle.
