Managing partner of Hueston Hennigan, Moez Kaba has been praised as a “master in the courtroom,” “outstanding in his trial capabilities,” and a client’s “secret weapon.” As just a taste of his recent victories, he secured a sweeping defense win following trial for The Boeing Company in a closely watched trade secret, breach of contract, and tortious interference case brought by an electric jet company. He also scored over half-billion in damages for Monster Energy in the past couple of years and a full defense verdict for Endo Pharmaceuticals in the opioid litigation.
Not only is he a nationally recognized trial lawyer, Mr. Kaba is also routinely called upon to serve as lead counsel in high-profile cases involving complex and cutting-edge legal issues. Among these, he’s representing the major record labels in unprecedented copyright litigation against two leading generative AI music companies, and he’s defending Epic Games in a series of suits alleging its Fortnite game was designed to addict young players. These cases are testing the bounds of tort law as it applies to publishers and developers of video games.
Mr. Kaba is also representing Twitch, the social media company, which is facing wrongful death and other claims relating to a fatal shooting spree. The shooter allegedly livestreamed the incident on Twitch, and the case is testing the law on whether Twitch may be held liable for livestreamed content posted by third parties. In another matter that has garnered significant press, he’s defending Amazon against an FTC action accusing the company of duping millions of consumers into unknowingly enrolling in its Prime program. Among other matters, Mr. Kaba is defending Starbucks and Amazon in first-of-its kind litigation alleging the companies failed to warn customers they were being monitored by “biometric technology.”
Mr. Kaba is a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and the International Academy of Trial Lawyers. He is one of a select group who are members of both organizations. He is also a fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, a group of “truly elite trial lawyers who have achieved a career of excellence through demonstrated skill and ability in jury trials.” This invitation-only organization is limited to 500 active U.S. trial lawyers. Mr. Kaba is one of a select group who are members of both organizations.
Chambers has honored Mr. Kaba as one of the best trial lawyers in the nation, and Benchmark Litigation listed him as one of the “Top 100 Trial Lawyers in America”—he was the youngest lawyer nationally on the list—and as one of the “Top 20 Trial Lawyers in California.” He was also recently named a BTI “Client Service All Star,” among numerous accolades.
Among his many involvements, Mr. Kaba is a founding board member and secretary of the Social Justice Legal Foundation, which created a new model for advancing social justice by focusing on groundbreaking trial work and innovative collaboration across private, public and academic sectors. He serves on the board of directors for Bet Tzedek, previously served as the secretary of the board of directors for Equality California, and continues to dedicate considerable time to pro bono work.
