Kirkland & Ellis LLP

Kasdin Mitchell is a litigation partner with a focus on complex litigation at the trial and appellate level. She has tried several cases to verdict, including serving on the trial team that resulted in a complete defense victory for 3M in one of the bellwether trials in the largest multidistrict litigation in history. She has argued in the Third, Fourth, Sixth, Ninth and Eleventh Circuits as well as numerous federal district and state courts, and she has filed appellate briefs in every federal court of appeals except one.

Kasdin also has represented numerous clients at the certiorari and merits stage in the U.S. Supreme Court, which appointed her to brief and argue a case on the merits in October Term 2025. Her work on merits cases helped secure a $12 billion victory against the federal government for health insurers, a victory for Facebook in a case limiting liability under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and a victory for a major pipeline company in a case involving the intersection of the federal eminent domain power and the Natural Gas Act.
