Freeborn Partner Rick Kienzler Named to Law Bulletin Media’s 2019 40 Under Forty
Richard T. Kienzler, a partner in Freeborn & Peters LLP’s Litigation Practice Group, is one of Law Bulletin Media’s 2019 40 Illinois Attorneys Under Forty, which recognizes the “most talented young attorneys working in Illinois” under age 40. A Freeborn attorney has been included in the 40 Under Forty each of the last 20 years.
Publisher of the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin and Chicago Lawyer magazine, Law Bulletin Media selected the 40 Under Forty from among more than 1,500 nominations. The honorees are chosen for their intelligence, passion, success in the office, desire to help their community, and willingness to work hard at their profession.
The firm said Kienzler represents large companies, owner-managed businesses and individuals in state and federal cases across the country, as well as in arbitrations and other proceedings conducted outside of court. A large part of his practice involves disputes concerning non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, as well as fast-paced, emergency proceedings in which parties seek temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions. In addition, he has successfully resolved significant, large-scale commercial contract disputes, partnership and shareholder disputes, and class action lawsuits.
Kienzler received his J.D. (magna cum laude) from Loyola University Chicago School of Law and his Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Iowa.
