The firm is pleased to announce that it was recently honored as one of the Los Angeles and San Francisco Daily Journal‘s “Top Boutiques” of 2025. With only 22 law firms recognized on the coveted list, this special issue recognizes the very best boutique law firms in the state across all practices.
Profiling KHIKS in the litigation category, the Daily Journal notes the firm’s busy caseload, high victory rate, and “growing national reputation as Hollywood’s go-to entertainment litigation firm” as it approaches its 20th anniversary in the spring.
“We’re handling so many jury trials these days, and it’s nice to have Shawn [Holley] start this one,” Larry Iser explained to the Daily Journal, referring to the wrongful death case brought by the family of Tyler Skaggs against the Los Angeles Angels. “It took them a week to pick the jury… it’s an important case, and we’re honored to be a part of it.”
The firm’s profile also discusses KHIKS’s outstanding victories over the last several years, including those on behalf of Mattel, Inc., Evan Rachel Wood, Kinetic Content (“Love is Blind” and “Married at First Sight”), as well as other ongoing representations that include the Estate of Michael Jackson, SeaWorld, writer-producer Chuck Lorre, and the Roddenberry estate in highly complex matters.
KHIKS’s significant growth, both in revenue and attorney recruitment, is also referenced in the profile, with Larry pointing to the firm’s boutique feel, exciting cases, and collaborative culture as reasons behind its success: “Our work atmosphere is very lighthearted and fun… one of our clients described our shop as a battleship… We’re all equals and we all work together.”
“I’m thrilled and proud,” Larry continued, reflecting on the significance of KHIKS’s upcoming 20th anniversary milestone. “For a firm of our size, we’ve built something that can compete with anyone — and still feel like a family.”
