ATLANTA (January 6, 2026) – Kabat Chapman & Ozmer LLP (KCO), a boutique law firm with a national litigation footprint, is proud to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Since its founding in 2016, KCO has built a reputation for delivering exceptional legal counsel to Fortune 500 companies and industry leaders in labor and employment, business litigation, class action defense and white- collar defense. The firm is also known for its client-first service and results-driven solutions. These are not just words. As the head of labor and employment for one of our clients wrote:
“This is a team we trust with our most high-stakes work, and our trust has always been rewarded,” shared the vice president and chief counsel of a Fortune 100 client. “We also happen to have a ton of fun working with them, which is the way life should be.”
With offices in Atlanta; Chicago; Los Angeles; and Portland, Oregon, KCO occupies a unique position in the legal market, offering the agility and personal attention of a boutique firm alongside the resources and experience typically found at much larger firms. Over the past decade, KCO has become a trusted legal partner to companies navigating high-stakes litigation in jurisdictions across the country.
Founded by Mike Kabat, Nathan Chapman and Joe Ozmer, KCO began with a clear mission: provide its clients with the highest quality legal representation, focus on establishing long-term client relationships rather than chasing after individual cases, and create a working environment where its people can thrive and enjoy the practice of law while establishing close personal relationships. The Firm has hit these goals as demonstrated by its tremendous growth over the past decade, from nine attorneys and three paralegals/legal admins to twenty-six attorneys and eight paralegals/legal admins.
“We’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come in ten years,” said Kabat. “This milestone reflects our team’s dedication, our clients’ trust, and the values we’ve stayed true to since day one. Looking ahead, we’re focused on continuing to evolve with our clients’ needs while staying grounded in what’s always made us different: our personal approach and commitment to excellence.”
“We are deeply committed to our clients, meeting their legal needs, and exceeding their expectations,” said Chapman. “Our firm’s success has been built on this foundation of striving for, and delivering, exceptional results to our clients.”
“Reaching this milestone is a reflection of the trust our clients place in us, the dedication of our team and the values that have guided us from day one,” said Ozmer. “We’ve always believed that exceptional legal work can be delivered with efficiency, personality and true partnership, and our clients appreciate that.”
KCO represents clients in a wide range of complex legal matters, including class and collective actions, business disputes, and high-exposure labor and employment and white-collar litigation. The firm also provides consulting services, training, internal investigations and day-to-day legal counsel.
In just the last few years, KCO’s attorneys have served as lead defense counsel in over 200 class, collective, and representative action lawsuits, achieving favorable outcomes in nearly every case, with only one matter surviving class certification. The firm has first-chaired litigation in more than 40 states and routinely manages bet-the-company disputes for major national brands. As the firm reflects on the past decade, its focus remains firmly on the future: expanding its impact, deepening its client relationships and continuing to deliver the exceptional legal work and case results that its clients have come to expect.
