January 2018 - Kaufman & Canoles is pleased to announce that Kristan B. Burch has been elected to serve on the Firm's Executive Committee.
Ms. Burch is a Member in the Firm's Litigation Section and Co-Chair of the Intellectual Property & Franchising Practice Group. Her practice focuses on construction and intellectual property. Ms. Burch handles a broad range of civil litigation matters including construction defect cases, trademark and copyright infringement actions, and general commercial disputes.
