KJK is excited to announce that our Columbus office has been selected as the official Meritas member for Columbus, Ohio. Our Cleveland office has been part of the Meritas network since 2010, and this expansion further strengthens our dedication to delivering top-tier legal services throughout Ohio and beyond.
Meritas is a leading global alliance of independent law firms, recognized by Chambers as a Band 1 law firm network. Our partnership with Meritas over the past decade has been an invaluable tool for both our attorneys and clients. The affiliation offers KJK access to more than 8,400 lawyers in 90 countries and 245 markets worldwide.
Meritas announced the news on October 9, 2024, stating:
KJK recognizes that Columbus is one of the fastest growing cities in the country, and as it grows, the leading sectors will be technology, insurance and insurtech, finance and fintech, real estate development, and life sciences – areas the firm already excels in serving. Additionally, the Columbus office leads a unique start-up practice, specifically catering to newly funded electronic-based companies for a monthly flat fee. This practice has experienced tremendous growth of various outbound referral opportunities, since many of the companies have operations outside of the Ohio Region.
The Columbus lawyers provide legal support in a range of areas including Litigation, Labor & Employment Law, Trusts and Estates, and Corporate Law. In addition, their Tax & Tax Exemption practice offers sophisticated guidance on tax related matters, helping clients navigate the complexities of both domestic and international taxation. They also have a robust nationwide Intellectual Property & Technology practice, which provides support for clients looking to protect their online businesses, particularly when their brands face challenges or threats.
This expanded membership allows us to leverage Meritas’ extensive network to better serve our clients, ensuring they receive the highest quality legal support.
