Kang Haggerty Strengthens Litigation Team with Braverman's Expertise and Experience

Kang Haggerty Strengthens Litigation Practice with Key Addition

Kang Haggerty LLC is proud to announce a significant enhancement to its litigation team, having welcomed David L. Braverman along with his core associates from Braverman Kaskey. This strategic move aims to bolster the firm's capabilities in business and commercial litigation across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.

The announcement, made on July 30, 2026, marks a new chapter for both firms as they combine their strengths to provide an unparalleled level of legal service to clients. David L. Braverman, renowned for his leadership in the litigation field, carries nearly five decades of extensive experience in complex commercial litigation. His expertise encompasses various crucial sectors, including construction, banking, and real estate.

Impressive Credentials

Braverman's track record is nothing short of remarkable. He has consistently achieved high-stakes results, including a landmark multi-million dollar verdict that held a commercial bank accountable for breaching its fiduciary duty to borrowers. Furthermore, he successfully secured a multi-million dollar recovery from the government of Uzbekistan, following a hazardous incident involving extinguishing a wild well fire. His litigation experiences span across fifteen states, as well as international jurisdictions like Puerto Rico and Costa Rica.

In being appointed as Judge Pro Tempore for the Philadelphia courts and receiving accolades such as the Lifetime Achievement Award for Professional Excellence from Pennsylvania Legal/ALM, Braverman’s legal acumen is well-recognized. His continuous presence in the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers™ speaks volumes about his skills and ethical standards, making him a distinguished figure in the legal landscape of Pennsylvania.

Braverman, alongside fellow litigators Peter J. Leyh, Kevin W. Burdett, and Harrison Fonteix, is set to enrich Kang Haggerty’s operational dynamics. Leyh, now Of Counsel, brings extensive experience in complex commercial litigation and a commendable record of trial victories. Burdett, stepping in as Senior Counsel, has an extensive courtroom background as a former assistant district attorney, focused on civil and commercial litigation. Meanwhile, Fonteix, who has shown promise with his prior experiences at Rudolph Clarke LLC, adds fresh, youthful perspectives, particularly in complex commercial cases.

Commitment to Clients

Edward T. Kang, the Managing Member of Kang Haggerty, expressed his enthusiasm about the new partnership, highlighting how this merger aligns with the firm's commitment to excellence. Together, they aspire to continue delivering top-notch legal services that promote their clients' growth and success.

Braverman also shared his view on this transition, stating, “This move is both a meaningful milestone and a fantastic opportunity for our team. Kang Haggerty's platform, equipped with technology and managed by a robust staff, will enable us to provide our clients with the personal attention they expect while leveraging a broader foundation and expanded capabilities.”

The relocation to Kang Haggerty's offices at 123 South Broad Street signifies a new beginning, but Braverman reassures that their core commitment to serving clients will remain unchanged.

Kang Haggerty LLC, established as a boutique business litigation firm, now stands on a solid foundation for growth, with locations strategically situated in Philadelphia, PA; Marlton, NJ; and Wilmington, DE. For further insights into their offerings or to connect, visit www.KangHaggerty.com.
