Eitan Kagedan advocates for individual, corporate, and governmental clients on legal issues involving civil rights, corporate liability, intellectual property rights and contractual obligations.
His multifaceted practice involves litigating and providing guidance on business disputes and business divorces. Eitan works with clients at every stage of a potential dispute, from early case assessment through resolution. This work includes determining the best path forward, whether advancing aggressively to trial or leveraging the strength of his client’s case to obtain an early resolution through arbitration, mediation, or informal negotiations. He frequently represents a multinational telecommunications company, defending the company in personal injury claims and analyzing complex questions of contractual indemnification and multiparty liability. Eitan also handles complex coverage disputes, representing major and specialty insurance carriers in high-stakes disputes with insureds and with other insurers.
Laws involving public interest and institutions are frequently at the heart of local and state disputes; as part of the firm’s election law team, Eitan represents state agencies in court to protect election integrity and ensure free, fair and accessible elections. He has been involved in high-profile litigation concerning the security of the electronic voting systems used in the Commonwealth, and has defended government actors against challenges under the federal and state constitutions. Education is another arena where Eitan is active, as he advises students and families about their educational rights and supports a large school district in conducting third-party investigations into alleged student and staff misconduct, including under Title IX. To this end, Eitan serves as a council member for the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Education Law Section, helping to develop educational programing for practitioners across the Commonwealth.
Within the firm, he is a member of the Associate Development Committee and is vice chair of the Hiring Committee, focused on ensuring the continued growth and long-term success of the firm.
An active community member, Eitan, an AmeriCorps alum, has volunteered as an advisor to the board of the Professional Theater and Youth Dance Academy (providing arts education to underserved communities), and served as an observer for the board of HIAS PA, an organization supporting immigrants of all backgrounds through immigration legal services and social services.
During law school, Eitan served as a judicial extern for the Honorable Diane J. Larsen of the Circuit Court of Cook County Illinois, Chancery Division. Prior to joining the firm, he was an associate with Dentons US, LLP in Chicago.
