and Jon Neiditz to Prestigious List

ATLANTA (February 9) – Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton announced today that Atlanta Partners Ben Barkley, John Jett, and Jon Neiditz have been named by corporate counsel to the BTI Client Service All-Stars 2022. Only 565 attorneys representing 194 law firms were included in this prestigious list.

Now in its 21st year of publication, The BTI Client Service All-Stars is the gold standard used by corporate counsel and law firms alike to identify the attorneys delivering the absolute best levels of client service—better than all others. BTI relies on more than 350 in-depth, independent interviews with top legal decision makers at the world’s leading organizations, each with more than $700 million in revenue. There is only one way to become a BTI Client Service All-Star: for corporate counsel to single out an attorney for client service exceeding all others – with no prompts or suggestions.

• Ben Barkley serves as Kilpatrick Townsend’s Corporate Department Chair. For more than 30 years, Mr. Barkley has advised senior management and boards of directors of public and large private companies on their most critical organizational challenges and complex transactions, including: effecting mergers and acquisitions and other strategic transactions, raising capital, responding to hostile takeovers, and reviewing and preparing public disclosures.

• John Jett is a Kilpatrick Townsend partner focusing his practice on commercial and intellectual property litigation. Mr. Jett represents individuals and companies, as both plaintiffs and defendants, in disputes before state and federal courts as well as in arbitration including intellectual property owners operating in the retail, franchising, technology, and entertainment industries.

• Jon Neiditz co-leads the Cybersecurity, Privacy and Data Governance Practice at Kilpatrick Townsend. For decades, Mr. Neiditz has helped clients anticipate, obviate, and manage information privacy and security risks; appropriately monetize information; comply with privacy, data protection and cybersecurity laws around the world in pragmatic ways; and contain and prevent harm from incidents while maximizing resilience and minimizing regulatory issues.

They know their way around the rules, people, and issues and always find ways to get things done—and how to avoid what needs to be avoided.
