Clerkship
Hon. Stewart G. Pollock, New Jersey Supreme Court
Charley Kimmett has been identified as “a go-to attorney in business law” and “the kind you’d go to war with.”
He is a trial attorney who focuses on civil and commercial litigation, complex business and contract disputes, appeals, and bid protest and procurement litigation.
Charley tries cases in federal courts, state courts, and before tribunals—anything and everything from a jury to an ALJ or arbitration tribunal. Charley is a seasoned trial attorney focused on winning the case for his client by being the most prepared, highly skilled, experienced advocate. He relishes any opportunity to try a case, but appreciates the value of a worthwhile settlement.
His recent experience as lead counsel includes:
- Winning a unanimous jury decision on all counts in the federal district court in Sherman, Texas—the opposing party’s and counsel’s “home court”—on behalf of the worldwide leader in live touring family entertainment experiences.
- Winning a defense award in an American Arbitration Association proceeding in New York City defeating claims that that his client breached license and royalty agreements.
- Winning an evidentiary hearing on a TRO proceeding in Springfield, Illinois and convincing the Judge not only to deny the requested injunctive relief, but to throw out the entire case brought by the opposing party.
- Winning an arbitration in which his client sought specific performance of a $37 million teaming agreement.
- Convincing an administrative law judge after a three-day hearing to reject false representations by a competing bidder in the client’s protest to a procurement award.
In addition to his civil litigation work, Charley leads HWG’s bid protests and procurement litigation and litigation financing practice groups.
