It’s not every day the entire KPPB LAW attorney team is in one room and one city, but last week in Atlanta, we made it happen (minus one in our group photo). We brainstormed, shared laughs, and enjoyed team exercises that helped us get to know each other beyond the legal counsel we provide for our clients. There’s something powerful about being together in person, exchanging ideas and fueling each other’s energy. We want to do this more often—it’s a game changer for how we grow as a team and shape our future—and the way we show up for our clients. With 22 years behind us, we’re more excited than ever about the journey ahead, and this amazing team is leading the way! A big thank you to our attorneys for how they show up for our clients, for each other and for helping to reimagine how we step into the future together.

KPPB LAW co-founder Sonjui L. Kumar has been appointed the general counsel of the National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF). NAMWOLF announced the appointment during the association’s Spring Meeting in Nashville on Feb. 28, 2026. This appointment comes after nearly two decades of KPPB LAW’s engagement with NAMWOLF, where Sonjui and her colleagues have contributed and served in various capacities. Sonjui previously served as a board member and chair of multiple committees, including the Law Firm Management Committee and the International Law PAC. KPPB LAW joined NAMWOLF in 2008, and was the first South Asian-owned law firm member. The general counsel role to NAMWOLF is a pro bono service that will complement Sonjui’s corporate transactions and governance practice. Congratulations Sonjui!

KPPB LAW patent attorney and engineer Kermit Lopez is sharing his reflections on his conversations from the show floor during last month’s #CES2026 in Las Vegas. He notes that #CES2026 offered a particularly compelling view into how deeply technology is now woven into everyday life; adding that the event reinforced a familiar but increasingly urgent lesson: securing patent protection early has never been more critical.
