Sader Law Firm LLC announces the addition of Nathan P. Hauber as an associate. He bolsters a continually growing bankruptcy practice at the firm. 

Before entering private practice, Hauber worked as a law clerk for Nowak & Stauch PLLC in Dallas, Texas. He gained exposure to various areas of law, including legal malpractice, medical malpractice, commercial contract disputes, and landlord/tenant issues. 

“Nathan looks forward to applying his passion for legal work to advocating on behalf of clients in bankruptcy processes and other financial and business-related matters,” said Neil Sader, managing member. “He already displays strong judgment in his work through his educational and professional background, and our firm will be a great place for him to grow as an attorney.” 

A native of Overland Park, Kansas, Hauber completed his undergraduate studies with a degree in business administration and finance and a minor in marketing. He later earned his law degree from Dedman School of Law at Southern Methodist University. While enrolled there, Hauber performed pro bono work for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program and volunteered with Texas Law Help, providing online resources and legal aid information to those in need from across the state. He also interned for the law school’s COVID-19 Legal Helpline, assisting in various landlord/tenant and contract disputes during the early days of the pandemic. 

Spencer Fane LLP announces Kevin Kuhlman has joined the litigation and dispute resolution practice group in the firm’s Kansas City office. 

Kuhlman's curated track record of success includes a specific concentration of representing manufacturers and hospitality industry companies in breach of contract, breach of warranty, premises liability, and product liability in state and federal courts throughout the nation. In addition, he handles consumer class actions and other types of multidistrict litigation involving alleged deceptive trade practices, product liability, and warranty claims. He also performs internal investigations and regularly resolves claims through mediation, multiparty settlement conferences, and other alternative dispute resolution methods. 

“Our measured growth in Kansas City continues to focus on addressing the full range of legal needs related to preventing and addressing litigious matters,” said Julia Vander Weele, office managing partner for Spencer Fane in Kansas City. “We confirm our commitment to responsive and efficient client service through the addition of talented, collaborative attorneys like Kevin with a broad range of experience. He fits well with our established, dynamic culture that serves as the basis of our value proposition.”
