Dear Clients and Friends,

Our 2007 celebration of the firm’s 50th Anniversary gave all of us at Kennedy Covington an opportunity to reflect upon our past and our future. Always a good thing.

In celebrating our past, we recognized our retired Partners, who have added so much to the culture and traditions of our firm over decades of service: Bill Drew, Buddy DuBose, Don Lassiter, Henry Lomax, Edgar Love, John Murchison, Bailey Patrick, Francis Pinckney, Dal Shefte, Charlie Tompkins and Ace Walker. These attorneys see the legal profession as a calling and inspired all of us who came after them. We also honored one of our founding partners, Marcus Hickman, with a Justice Fund through the North Carolina Bar Foundation. For more than 40 years, Marcus was a guiding force in our firm and a mentor and friend to many of us.

We have enjoyed celebrating the past, but we understand that we can never stand still. We have continued to be very active in both entry-level and lateral hiring, adding 22 new attorneys in 2007 and expanding our health law, real estate and employment law practices. We also launched a new practice focused on campaign finance, political action committees and ethics.

The theme running through the successes of our past and the excitement for our future is our dedication and commitment to client service. We are pleased to include in this report a description of the services we provide and some specific examples of how we have served clients. These are only a few examples of what occurs every day across more than 30 practices in three departments: business law, litigation and real estate. We believe that these practices, and their emphasis on integrated team-focused client service, provide the best possible legal services to our clients.

Over the past year, we have continued to emphasize the importance of service to our profession and to the communities in which we live. We have been fortunate to be recognized for our leadership in these efforts, but, of course, our true satisfaction comes from the privilege of service itself.

We have continued our commitment to diversity. We believe that offering diverse perspectives to our clients enhances our counsel and sparks intellectual energy within the firm.

We have come a long way since 1957. Many thanks to you, our friends and clients. We look forward to serving you in the years to come.

All the best,

Gene Pridgen, Managing Partner

At Kennedy Covington, our clients come first – always.

Our service philosophy is reflected in the integrity and commitment that we bring to each client relationship and is rooted in the following principles:

Accomplishing the mission – Our clients are focused on achieving their business goals, and we are focused on supporting these efforts. Whether it’s closing a deal, winning a case or resolving a matter, our pragmatic approach and sound counsel allow our clients to meet their mark.

Minimizing risk – Backed by years of experience, our attorneys advise clients on potential risks and work to minimize their impact up front. We stay on top of current legal trends and developments that may affect our clients. We take our role as forward-thinking counsellors and advocates seriously.

Working as a team – Teamwork is essential to a successful legal practice. Our firm fosters collaboration and teamwork among our client teams and practice areas. By partnering with our clients, we work side by side to assist them with complex legal matters and to help them reach their business goals.

Being there – Legal issues arise day and night. Our commitment to our clients is not restricted to “regular business hours.” We stand ready to help clients through tough times whenever these tough times occur, whether it be in person, via cell phone, PDA or video conferencing.

Valuing time and money – Managing resources effectively and efficiently makes a difference in our clients’ competitive edge and bottom line. We understand the value of time and money. By leveraging technology, as well as by managing and staffing our matters appropriately, we deliver the right talent at the right value.

Sharpening the saw – The more client feedback we receive, the better service we provide. Our clients tell us how we perform through one-on-one interviews, surveys and regular status meetings. This feedback process is fueled by our unwavering dedication to exemplary client service.

As the legal landscape continues to evolve, we will remain firmly planted in our service philosophy. We look forward to cultivating many more meaningful relationships in the years to come.

Our client was sued for libel, tortious interference and unfair trade practices in connection with the termination of a NASCAR sponsorship. After a two and a half week trial at which the plaintiff sought damages of over $25 million, the jury found that our client’s most significant statements were true and that he had not wrongfully interfered with the plaintiff’s contracts. Consequently, the jury awarded nominal damages of only $1, vindicating our client.

“I was very pleased with Kennedy Covington’s advice and representation. My lawyers were always well prepared, understood the issues and clearly knew their way around the courtroom.”

Our clients, a major player in the educational travel business and the private equity arms of two major financial institutions, which controlled a majority of its equity, sold the travel business to another private equity group. A minority owner attempted to derail the transaction. We sued the recalcitrant owner, obtained an injunction prohibiting the prosecution of a separate lawsuit in T.X., and defended against the minority owner’s counterclaims for breach of fiduciary duty and related claims. Ultimately, the North Carolina Business Court dismissed virtually all claims by the minority owner based upon the business judgment rule.

We blocked a former employee and the employee’s new company from unfairly competing with our client. Our employment litigation team mobilized immediately when an employee left our client’s manufacturing and sales company for a competitor and took with him confidential information, including customer lists and specifications for a product. The competitor sought to redevelop the product with minor changes and to re-sell it to one of our client’s customers. Our team swiftly filed a breach of contract and trade secret protection action on behalf of our client against the former employee and the competitor. Moving quickly, we obtained a sweeping restraining order against both the employee and the competitor, providing our client with the necessary leverage to negotiate a favorable settlement.
