Kevin D. Holden, K&C Employment Team

Kevin D. Holden, a partner and member of the K&C Employment Team, has extensive experience in the field of employment and labor law. Much of his time is devoted to defending claims of wrongful discharge, race, sex, and disability discrimination, non-compete agreements, sexual harassment, breach of contract, unpaid overtime compensation and various other workplace torts. His practice takes him before state and federal courts and administrative agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor, and various human rights and unemployment commissions.

Mr. Holden has considerable experience in trial and appellate courts bringing and defending claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unfair competition. He appeared for the Supreme Court of Virginia in the matter of Dominion Technology Partners v. Williams, which established the appropriate standard of conduct for exiting employees wishing to compete against their former employer. More recently, in the matter of Perera, et al. v. Anesthesia Associates of Richmond, he successfully defended a twenty million dollar breach of duty claim against the former officers and directors of large medical group and, by way of counterclaim, obtained a 1.5 million dollar jury verdict in their favor.

A substantial amount of Mr. Holden´s time is devoted to counseling employers with respect to personnel policies and practices, including discipline and termination decisions, in an effort to ensure awareness of and compliance with applicable employment laws and avoid the disruption, expense and uncertainty of litigation. To that end, he assists business owners and human resources managers in developing and implementing employee handbooks, employment contracts, restrictive covenants, and arbitration agreements, and is a frequent lecturer on a variety of workplace issues.

Mr. Holden received his business and law degrees from Indiana University. After completion of his law degree, he clerked for the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and then for the Honorable Sarah Evans Barker, a United States District Judge for the Southern District of Indiana.
