Corporate Representation & Litigation
We have over two decades of experience in negotiating on behalf of multistate and multinational clients and when conversation is exhausted we are prepared to zealously advocate on behalf of our clients in State and Federal Court. We understand that mutually beneficial solutions are the goal but when required we do not hesitate to litigate to achieve our clients' needs.
Election Law
State Election Enforcement Commission
Kennelly & Associates has many years representing both individuals and campaigns on issues ranging from residency, state contractor contributions and contribution compliance. We have a very hands-on level of involvement with the State Elections Enforcement Commission (SEEC) and have brought about very favorable decisions and settlements for our clients. Facing an SEEC investigation can be a disturbing experience for those not experienced in this very specialized body of law. Let Kennelly & Associates ensure that the law works for you and that whatever the outcome, your campaign or interests are protected.
Election Litigation
We have defended and prosecuted numerous election law based actions for individual candidates, municipal parties and primary slates. Our experience is to the level that we are often citing case law we created years before in advocating for our clients. Many of the cutting edge judicial decisions regarding Connecticut election law statutes were authored after cases brought by our law firm.
