Derek T. Ho, Partner
Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick, P.L.L.C.

Derek Ho is a partner at Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick, PLLC.  Over two decades, he has been widely recognized for his success representing plaintiffs and defendants in high-stakes commercial litigation.  Mr. Ho has extensive experience working with litigation funders, starting when the industry was still in its infancy.  He litigated the seminal cases establishing that communications between a litigant and a litigation funder are protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or work-product doctrine.  He successfully defended litigation funding arrangements against claims that they violate federal and state law.  Litigation funders regularly retain him to assess potential new matters.  And he actively uses litigation funding in his own cases.  Mr. Ho previously clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter.
