Mitchell has a deep bench of experience in virtually all forms of complex litigation, including employment, entertainment, securities, patent and other intellectual property and trusts and estates. His criminal expertise includes government enforcement, compliance, and federal and state white collar litigation.

Some of Mitchell’s most notable matters include a victory at the Supreme Court in KSR International Co. v.

“Since joining our firm early last year, Mitchell has proven himself to be an invaluable addition to our firm and its growth as well as to our clients,” said Tama Kudman, chair of KTAP’s Government Enforcement and White Collar Defense Group.
