Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick PLLC is an American law firm based in Washington, DC. The "uber-elite, D.C.-based litigation boutique" was founded in 1993 by three former Harvard Law School classmates, Michael K. Kellogg, Peter W. Huber, and Mark C. Hansen.
The firm is "recognized for its excellence in litigation." Nearly all of its partners and associates graduated from top-tier law schools and served as law clerks for federal judges, and more than a dozen clerked for Justices of the United States Supreme Court. Practice areas include: commercial litigation, appellate litigation, intellectual property litigation, telecommunications law, governmental investigations, white-collar law, and Supreme Court litigation. Seven Kellogg Hansen lawyers have argued a total of 27 appeals since January 2014, as well as 51 merits cases before the Supreme Court.
The firm won the two largest antitrust judgments in United States history (Conwood v. U.S. Tobacco and In re Urethanes Antitrust Litigation), as well as the seminal cases Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly and American Express v. Italian Colors.
Throughout its history, Kellogg Hansen has represented clients in the telecommunications industry in their dealings with the Federal Communications Commission. Its clients have included Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon. The firm has also made a successful challenge to regulations that stemmed from the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Kellogg Hansen maintains strict education and professional requirements for its new hires, and the firm is famous for "the difficulty of landing a job there." As of 2015, "the firm pays base salaries" for new associates different than the "market" rate for elite law firms: "$225K for the first two years at the firm, followed by $275K after that." "All associates who join the firm get a starting bonus of $175K," or a $330,000 signing bonus to hires who have clerked for Supreme Court Justices.
