Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP congratulates its partner John B. Nalbandian on his confirmation by the United States Senate as a Judge for the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. Nalbandian was nominated to the Sixth Circuit by President Donald J. Trump.

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals is a federal court with appellate jurisdiction over the United States District Courts in Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, and Tennessee.

Nalbandian, a resident of Kentucky, has concentrated his practice on appellate and complex litigation in state and federal courts within a wide range of areas, including antitrust, products liability, intellectual property, environmental, employment, white collar crime and class actions. He also has extensive experience in administrative and international law.

Nalbandian, a 1994 graduate of the University of Virginia School of Law, is an Ohio State Bar Association Board Certified Specialist in Appellate Law. He has been recognized annually since 2007 by Best Lawyers in America for his work in Appellate Law and was named the 2016 “Lawyer of the Year” for Cincinnati Appellate Practice. He has also served as a Special Justice on the Kentucky Supreme Court.

Litigation Practice Chair Russell S. Sayre commented, “This is a great and well-deserved honor for John, who has devoted himself tirelessly to our clients for nearly two decades and has also been a great colleague and mentor to the many Taft lawyers with whom he has worked over the years.”
