Welcome Kevin McKeown

Big addition of recent at LexBlog – and it’s not the Leonbergers on Kevin McKeown’s shoulders.

It’s an honor to announce McKeown’s joining LexBlog as its EVP of Client Development. Like me, he’s also an attorney-though today, he’s more businessman than lawyer.

After graduating law school, clerking for a judge, and working for a large law firm his curiosity with the world got the best of him. He ended up joining Mitsubishi International Corporation doing overseas business development. That led to lots of travel and other positions developing markets for emergent technologies. He’s now going to use that 22-year career to help LexBlog grow. He says ‘it’s nice not having an office in the sky.’

Just missed getting Kevin to join me at Prairielaw.com when I first moved to Seattle. Was impressed with his combination of Pittsburgh blue collar work ethic and a drive to do the right thing by people. If he doesn’t honestly believe he can help a business partner, in this case a client of LexBlog’s, he’s not going to do the deal.

Drop him an email, give him a call (206 388 3625), or connect with him at LinkedIn. He’s looking forward to meeting all of you.
