MICHAEL KIBLER
Managing Partner
Kibler Fowler & Cave LLP
Mike Kibler is the managing partner of the Los Angeles-based firm Kibler Fowler & Cave LLP. Kibler is an accomplished trial lawyer—over the past 20 years, his plaintiff-side jury verdicts and settlements in commercial cases total over $300 million. He has represented businesses and financial institutions in litigation covering a wide range of industries, including real estate development and investments, finance and private equity, banking, pharmaceuticals, and insurance. Kibler has advised companies on litigation risk in connection with corporate transactions, and has successfully represented financial institutions before regulatory bodies, including the SEC.
In January 2020, after 18 years at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP (14 years as a partner), Kibler took a leap of faith and left Big Law to pursue his passion for the courtroom by launching KF&C, a litigation boutique that prides itself on its trial-ready attorneys.
