KSLN HISTORY
Founding partners Pat Kenney, Judi Shelton, and Tom Liptak began the firm in 1994. The three had been partners at one of Buffalo’s large full-service firms. However, they decided to begin their own firm in order to provide a more agile, value-driven focus on insurance defense and coverage. The firm was immediately successful based on this approach. Core clients at the time of the firm’s inception remain to this day, and over the years, many new insurance carriers and claims administrators have come to the firm as clients, and the vast majority remain clients to this day. As the client base grew over the years, the firm grew by combining a commitment to developing new attorneys with the addition of seasoned defense and coverage partners.
As it approached its second decade, the firm began to add new practice groups in a careful, strategic approach. The firm grew and diversified by adding known and respected attorneys with successful established practices and excellent reputations in the community. The firm’s additions have historically been the result of identifying attorneys who shared the firm’s philosophies, priorities, and values, rather than by predetermining specific practice groups to target and “acquire.” That approach remains today, and is another reason KSLN differs from other law firms.
​
The firm also expanded from its original Buffalo office, now with attorneys in New York City, White Plains, Rochester, Syracuse, Corning, Utica, Albany, and Erie, Pennsylvania.
