Kaufman Dolowich & Voluck expand into Dallas and New Orleans

Kaufman Dolowich & Voluck LLP (KDV), a leading national law firm, has expanded into the Southern United States, adding six lawyers and The Myers Law Group (TMLG) Dallas and New Orleans offices to its roster.

The addition incorporates TMLG’s strengths in labor and employment law, wage and hour class actions, insurance defense, D&Amp;O matters, and general commercial litigation and business law into KDV’s established legal resources. TMLG lawyers represent national and regional business clients and insurance groups, providing significant experience in employment and management/work environment matters, the hospital and healthcare sector, and the public and private secondary and higher education sectors.

“Texas is one of the largest and busiest legal jurisdictions in the country, while Louisiana presents an opportunity to expand our bench and services to clients, which makes this another important step in expanding KDV’s national presence,” said Michael Kaufman, KDV co-managing partner. “Partnering with an established firm that earned a sterling reputation in two important jurisdictions is a win for all our clients.” 

With more than 200 attorneys in 17 U.S. offices, the expanded firm is ideally positioned to help clients achieve their business goals in both local and national business activities. 

The Myers Law Group attorneys joining KDV include named partner Angella Myers, partners Janice Parker, Mark Carver, of counsel Carol Stephenson, and associates Sharon Gilmore and John Krawczyk. The Myers Law Group’s Dallas and New Orleans offices now serve as new Kaufman, Dolowich & Voluck offices. Myers is the office managing partner of both locations.

“With KDV we found a firm that shares our cultural values in many respects, including our client-first operational standards and our commitment to diversity,” said Myers. “We are now better positioned to meet our clients’ needs around the country as they expand their businesses, with the comfort of knowing our KDV colleagues will provide the same quality of service and care that has been the hallmark of our firm.”

“Our new colleagues handle a broad range of matters and have built an established presence in Texas and Louisiana that demonstrates active litigation and trial experience with success in both jurisdictions,” said Ivan Dolowich, KDV co-managing partner. “In the employment space their experience runs the gamut, including trainings, onsite investigations, handbook review and EEOC representations. Additionally, the New Orleans lawyers serve in Louisiana’s unique legal community and civil court system, providing proficiencies that will greatly benefit our clients as well.”  Dolowich continued, “Of course, we also receive a lot of requests from clients doing business in Texas and work is already flowing between our Texas colleagues and KDV lawyers across our national platform.”
