Faculty Profile: Kevin Klein

Kevin graduated from Brown University in 1997 and Cornell Law School in 2000. After law school, and for two summers during law school, Kevin worked for Husch & Eppenberger, LLP (now Husch Blackwell, LLP), a 300-plus lawyer defense firm. As an associate at Husch, Kevin successfully defended employers in all types of employment cases in state and federal court.
In 2003, Kevin came to work for then-Director of Law / eventual-Mayor Karl Dean at the Nashville Department of Law. He spent the next nine years investigating claims, taking depositions, trying cases, and briefing and arguing appeals. During that time, Kevin got dozens of cases dismissed before trial with no payment to the plaintiff, won numerous jury and bench trials, and successfully briefed and argued cases in front of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, Tennessee Court of Appeals, and Tennessee Supreme Court.
In August 2012, Kevin founded what is now Klein Solomon, PLLC. His practice focuses on employment and business litigation.
