Mr. Kuh has been engaged in a private litigation practice from 1966 through 1973, and continuously since 1975. Among hotly litigated matters in which Mr. Kuh performed critical roles have been the first Rhode Island trial of Claus Von Bulow and the probate proceedings in New York County concerning the billion dollar estate of the late Doris Duke. Although for the last several decades, civil litigation has, for the most part, occupied Mr. Kuh, in the criminal area -- as both prosecutor and defense lawyer -- Mr. Kuh has handled a variety of matters up to and including homicides. Active in the American Bar Association, Mr. Kuh has chaired its Criminal Justice Section and served in the ABA House of Delegates. In 1994, he chaired the First National Conference on Gun Violence and earlier had been a speaker at a White House Conference, Conferences of State Chief Justices, and Conferences of several of the United States Circuit Courts of Appeals.

For five years following his admission to the bar, he was an associate at the New York law firm of Cahill, Gordon, Zachary & Reindel, and then for eleven years -- as a New York County Assistant District Attorney -- served as Administrative Assistant to District Attorney Frank S. Hogan and Chief of the Criminal Courts Bureau. In 1974, Mr. Kuh succeeded Mr. Hogan as District Attorney of New York County. He joined our firm in 1978.

Mr. Kuh is a magna cum laude graduate of the Harvard Law School. He is admitted to the bars of the United States District Court (Southern and Eastern Districts of New York), the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and the United States Supreme Court.
