Welcome
The Havener Law Firm, LLC is the joint enterprise of Kathleen B. Havener, an experienced trial lawyer who focuses on complex commercial litigation, and Thomas G. Havener, a corporate lawyer with decades of experience in business strategy, federal taxation, tax controversies, tax-exempt financing and general transactional work.
Together, Tom and Kathleen have 46 years of experience in the profession, most of it in large firm settings in Washington, DC and Cleveland, OH. We handle difficult and complex matters regionally and nationwide.
We are often asked by business clients to advise them on how to proceed in particular circumstances or under certain contracts. Our best advice is as frequently to deal with a situation outside the courts and to negotiate rather than litigate if that is what is best for our clients.
We have the flexibility to enter into creative fee arrangements that sophisticated clients desire and to respond quickly to client emergencies. The Havener Law Firm LLC is committed to exploring alternative billing arrangements, and utilizes the billable hour only at a client’s choosing. Our fondest hope is to partner with clients to learn the details of their business operations and core values, so that we can provide clients with wise counsel and practical common sense solutions in combination with the advocacy and writing skills that are essential to any first-rate representation.
