Lan Kennedy-Davis

Lan Kennedy-Davis’ practice is diverse and involves corporate transactional work, as well as all aspects of general and complex business and family law litigation. She represents clients worldwide.

She served as corporate counsel for three publicly traded companies, including in-house counsel of a Fortune 500 company; CLO of a $800 million company which, was then the world’s largest electronics accessories company; and CLO of a publicly traded Hong Kong conglomerate. With a strong business background and extensive in-house counsel experience, she serves corporate clients as their external general counsel and works closely with the corporations’ internal counsel and officers on transactional matters, including mergers and acquisitions, contract negotiations, business development and litigation. The breadth and depth of both her business and legal experience allows her to understand and appreciate how legal issues impact the business, and enable her to resolve issues efficiently and effectively.

Lan’s client roster is very diverse including manufacturers of jet engines, gas turbine and power plants, space and aircraft controls, consumer electronics, video games, software applications, and nanotechnology, as well as physicians and their practices, pharmaceutical companies, engineering firms, marketing firms, commercial developers, carnivals, and companies involved in the business of cryptocurrency, crowdselling and crowdfunding. She also worked on endorsement deals with celebrities and professional athletes.

She also has more than 20 years of experience with government contracting, qui tam actions, antitrust and import/export laws and regulations. She worked on matters with the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Secret Service and was granted Secret Security Clearance in the past.

Complimenting her transactional practice, Lan also litigates complex business disputes, shareholder disputes, intellectual property, bankruptcy, product liability, breach of warranty, contracts, indemnification, administrative law, employment law, unfair competition, foreclosures and family law.

On the other side of the spectrum from corporate law, Lan enjoys working with individuals. She devotes a good part of her practice to family law. She focuses on high-assets and complex family law cases. Many of her family law clients are executives, professionals and business owners. With her combined business and legal experience, she is able to address the complexities of property division and financial support when the case involves business ownership, valuation, determination of income, qualified and unqualified forms of compensation. She guides her clients through a dissolution of marriage in a manner that minimizes the impact to their businesses and employment. Lan has an abundance of compassion for her clients and understanding for her clients’ family issues and many remain in touch with her after their cases have been concluded.

Lan has a very strong business background. She worked as a business consultant for Arthur Andersen/Andersen Consulting n/k/a Accenture, wherein she provided consulting services to CIGNA and PepsiCo. Lan also served as CEO of Soul Electronics a/k/a “Soul by Ludacris”, a high-end headphones company after first serving as it external general counsel for three years.

Lan has worked at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, France, and is fluent in English and Vietnamese.
