We always look forward to the ACG Columbus Annual Golf Outing, and this year’s event certainly delivered. As a proud sponsor, it was a pleasure to spend the day connecting with colleagues and friends across the community.

While our scores may or may not have topped the leaderboard, we’re confident our networking game was in championship form. Thank you to ACG Columbus for another excellent event – we’re already looking forward to next year.

Earlier this week, a group of our firm’s paralegals - including Kelly Ackley, Holli Litwiller Jarrell, Brook Paugh, and Miranda West - attended the Paralegal Day Celebration at Creekside Event Center, hosted by the Paralegal Association of Central Ohio (PACO).

Featuring keynote speaker Ohio Supreme Court Justice Jennifer Brunner, the event brought Central Ohio’s legal community together to celebrate the profession and recognize award and scholarship recipients.

We’re proud to have joined the State of Ohio and City of Columbus in recognizing Paralegal Day, and we value the essential role paralegals play in the legal profession.

The Ohio Restaurant & Hospitality Alliance’s Statehouse Day was an impactful event that brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and advocates from across the state – and we were honored to be both a sponsor and a participant.

From thoughtful discussions with legislative leaders to meetings with more than 50 elected officials, it was a powerful reminder of how important it is for restaurant and hospitality operators to have a seat at the table. These entrepreneurs are vital to Ohio’s economy and communities, yet too often their voices can be underrepresented in policy conversations.

We were especially glad to connect with so many owners, operators, and partners at the Legislator Meet & Greet Happy Hour at Jackie O's on Fourth – where our own Steve Tugend helped emphasize the importance of the day’s conversations.

Thank you to ORHA for hosting such a successful event and for continuing to elevate the voice of this critical industry.

We were proud to support and attend the Legal Aid of Southeast and Central Ohio - LASCO’s Fresh Start Gala last week. The event highlighted the transformative impact of LASCO’s Bankruptcy Program, which helps individuals and families overcome financial hardship, secure stable housing, and move toward brighter futures.

As a sponsor, our firm is honored to contribute to this important work and happy to congratulate LASCO on a successful evening that raised more than $60,000 to expand access to critical legal services and fresh starts across our community.

We’re proud to celebrate a remarkable milestone for Ted McKinniss, who recently marked 50 years of practicing law in Marion, Ohio.

A Marion native, Ted has spent his entire career building trusted relationships with clients while contributing to the growth and strength of the local community. From supporting business development to serving in key civic roles – including nearly three decades on the Marion City Board of Education – his impact extends far beyond the practice of law.

Congratulations, Ted, on this incredible achievement – and thank you for the impact you continue to make at Kegler Brown and in the Marion community.

We had a fantastic time bringing our team together for our annual Employee Recognition event yesterday at Smash Park Westerville!

From celebrating colleagues who have been with us for 5 years to honoring those with an incredible 40+ years of service, it was a wonderful reminder that our people – and their dedication – are the foundation of everything we do.

Grateful for the opportunity to celebrate together (and enjoy a little fun + friendly competition along the way)!

This past Saturday, our attorneys hit the lanes to help raise funds and awareness for local youth. We were proud to be a sponsor for this year’s Bowl for Kids’ Sake event with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio, supporting an organization that’s been building life-changing mentorships for decades. It was a great reminder that when our community shows up together, even knocking over a few pins can help spark a lifetime of impact.

Vinita Mehra has been recognized on both the India Business Law Journal’s International A‑List and Deals of the Year.

The International A-List honors a select group of lawyers worldwide with exceptional India‑related legal expertise – and Vinita once again stands out as the only attorney in the Midwest to earn this recognition.

Her inclusion in the Deals of the Year, which recognizes her work helping Illinois Tech become the first American university authorized to open a campus in India, also stands out as being the only deal from a U.S. firm to make the list.

Vinita’s efforts – spanning cross‑border business, regulatory strategy, and global education – continue to shape successful outcomes for clients in India and the United States. Congratulations to her on these outstanding achievements!

We were honored to host the Greater Columbus Chinese Chamber of Commerce for their Lunar New Year Gala last week. Celebrating the Year of the Horse – a symbol of energy, ambition, and forward momentum – was a meaningful way to reflect on new opportunities and longstanding relationships alike.

The evening featured an engaging keynote by Rebecca Fannin, who shared insights from her new book, The New Tech Titans of China, and brought together friends and leaders from across the community to connect and celebrate. We are proud of our long relationship with the Chamber and grateful for the opportunity to support this important tradition.
