Tucker Ellis LLP announced that it has promoted eight of its attorneys to counsel effective January 1, 2021. Among those promoted was Drew Kemp, ’13.

Kemp defends manufacturers of industrial and consumer products in state and federal courts across Missouri and Illinois. He also works on national and local defense counsel teams in mass tort litigation, represents clients in contract disputes and property damage cases, defends work-related personal injury cases, and advises clients in contract negotiations.

“Being promoted to the position of counsel at Tucker Ellis is a significant step that happens only when an attorney masters substantive skills, attains a high level of client satisfaction, and consistently and effectively accomplishes goals,” said Tucker Ellis Managing Partner Joe Morford. “We recognize not only these attributes in our eight new counsel, but also their commitment to our special culture of excellence, service, teamwork, equity and inclusion, and loyalty to our clients, our communities, and one another. We’re excited to watch them continue to grow and develop their careers here at Tucker Ellis.”
