Private Wealth Partner Kevin T. Keen was recognized by Citywealth among its Top 40 Under 40 Private Client Lawyers. The list intends to highlight "the new generation of private client lawyers set to take over the industry in the next two decades," as stated in the Citywealth announcement, and "contains a new breed of lawyer who not only works hard, has the full compliment of legal skills but also is more versed in community engagement and philanthropy." Citywealth compiles the list based on its independent research of recommendations from clients and peers.
This international recognition follows Kevin's selection as an "On the Rise Winner" at the 2024 Texas Legal Awards, an accolade that honors Texas' most promising lawyers under the age of 40, and as a 40 Under 40 honoree by the Dallas Business Journal in 2023. This year, Citywealth also shortlisted Kevin in both its Inspirational Individual of the Year and Lawyer of the Year- Partner categories for its Future Leaders Awards.
Kevin launched and serves as Chair of our Private Wealth practice in Dallas, a thriving economic market with one of Katten's fastest-growing offices. Licensed in Texas and Florida, and leveraging his experience practicing abroad in Switzerland, he maintains a global practice and serves private clients nationally and abroad on issues involving family offices, private trust companies, tax optimization, estate and wealth transfer planning, pre-immigration and expatriation planning, and investment structuring.
Katten's national Private Wealth department was also recognized earlier this year by Citywealth with its Magic Circle Award for Law Firm of the Year – USA, which recognizes the achievements of wealth managers and advisors in the international private wealth industry, particularly those who invest money with charities, private families and foundations.
