He has successfully managed various phases of litigation, including developing pre-suit strategy, crafting complaints, taking discovery and depositions, and drafting and arguing motions. Some of Mr. Kenney’s achievements for his clients include:

  • Obtaining a temporary injunction following a hotly-contested hearing in which Mr. Kenney delivered the opening statement and cross examined a key witness;
  • Mediating a dispute which resulted in a valuable and business-savvy resolution; and

After graduation, he clerked first with the Honorable Justice Lenk of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and then the Honorable Judge Mark L.
