Mr. Kaba has been described by Chambers USA as a “master in the courtroom” and “one of the best litigators” in California. In just the past two years, Mr. Kaba has tried four cases to verdict or judgment, prevailing in each one. These four recent victories add to his perfect trial record of nine wins so far and bolster his standing as a “powerhouse” lawyer in multiple national rankings. He was recently named one of the “Top 100 Trial Lawyers” in the country by Benchmark Litigation, making him the youngest person to be so recognized to date.
From securing what was hailed a “landmark” trial victory for Endo Pharmaceuticals in a closely watched $50 billion case, giving pharmaceutical companies “their first major victory” in the nationwide opioid litigation, to securing the largest trademark infringement awards ever for Monster Energy Company, Mr. Kaba is touted as a “master in the courtroom.” Persuasive to judges and juries alike, he is trusted by clients to win their most challenging cases. Given his trial acumen, he is lauded for being “really brilliant” with a “steel trap mind” and “quick and more consistently on the money when complex judgements calls need to be made.” Clients describe him as “one of the best young trial lawyers I’ve ever seen,” and as someone who “is innovative, smart, and able to see problems from various perspectives.”
In addition to the trial victories for Endo and Monster, Mr. Kaba has prevailed as co-lead trial counsel in trials and arbitrations across the nation, including a recent complete defense verdict for PricewaterhouseCoopers in a closely watched federal trial and a complete win – on all claims – for Amazon in a high-profile and consequential breach-of-contract and tortious interference suit brought against it by eBay. He also obtained a favorable settlement, after a week of trial, for Synchrony Financial (formerly GE Capital) in a lawsuit involving breach of contract, fraudulent misrepresentation, and alter ego claims.
His body of work and reputation have earned him praise from many different quarters. Mr. Kaba is Chambers-ranked as a leading lawyer and has been named one of the “Top 100 Trial Lawyers” in the country by Benchmark Litigation, making him the youngest person to be so recognized. Benchmark Litigation also recognizes him among the “Top 20 Trial Lawyers in California” and on the nationwide “40 & Under List.” He has been recognized multiple times by the Los Angeles Business Journal as one of Los Angeles’s “Minority Leaders of Influence: Attorneys” and “Top Litigators and Trial Lawyers.” In addition, it is worth noting that the Daily Journal has for several years recognized him as one of the “Top 100 Lawyers in California.”
