The law firm of Gallagher & Kennedy, a full service business law firm, added John P. Flynn, shareholder, Peter J. Moolenaar, of counsel and Katherine E. Hollist, associate, to the firm’s litigation practice group.

Flynn’s and Moolenaar’s experience not only expands the breadth of the practice, but also the depth. Flynn’s diverse experience allows him to provide an array of client services including: litigation, administrative law, insurance, employment and labor law and intellectual property. Moolenar, an Arizona native, has a deep connection to Arizona and its entrepreneurial spirit. He routinely helps business owners prevent disputes and resolve matters through individualized solutions, including in the areas of litigation, employment and labor law and insurance.

Hollist recently graduated from University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law where she graduated summa cum laude and was ranked in the top three of her class. Kate’s law school experience included an internship as a law clerk at the Pima County Public Defender’s office and involvement in a number of student organizations. She is joining as part of the litigation and personal injury and wrongful death practices.

“John, Peter and Kate are each strong additions to our firm,” said Dean Short, managing partner at Gallagher & Kennedy. “They solidify our commitment to strategic growth based on the opportunities and challenges facing our clients.”

As with their varied practices, their community and professional involvement is far reaching. Flynn currently serves on the Executive Council of the State Bar of Arizona Business Section and is a member of the State Bar’s Legislative Subcommittee. Moolenaar is a member of the Fiesta Bowl Committee and Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce Valley Young Professionals. Finally, prior to graduation, Hollist served as the vice president of marketing and communications for U of A’s Business Law Society and as treasurer for Arizona Pride Law.
