About Kevin
Kevin Stouwie works as an associate lawyer at Carabin Shaw. He joined the firm to take on the everyday demands of litigation practice and to support senior attorneys on complex matters. He is part of a team that manages case intake, develops strategies, and prepares matters for motion practice and trial.
At Carabin Shaw he handles a mix of substantive tasks that fall to associates in busy litigation shops. His responsibilities include drafting pleadings and motions, conducting legal research, managing discovery, and preparing witnesses for deposition. He often coordinates with experts and investigators. He also meets with clients to gather facts and explain next steps in clear, plain language.
His colleagues describe him as attentive to detail and steady under pressure. He spends much of his time translating case facts into legal theories and practical next steps. That work requires patience. It also requires an ability to move quickly when deadlines arrive. He learns from more senior lawyers at the firm and contributes by handling discrete pieces of larger cases.
Before joining the firm he completed the conventional path to the bar. He has been building courtroom and negotiation exposure through hearings, settlement conferences and other proceedings. Those appearances help him test points of law and refine his oral advocacy. He also files briefs and prepares evidentiary materials that senior attorneys rely upon when shaping case strategy.
Beyond casework, he takes on client-facing tasks that matter to day-to-day operations. He drafts client letters, prepares status reports, and helps track timelines. He also participates in internal strategy sessions and contributes to trial preparation. That combination of responsibilities gives him texture as a practitioner. It lets him see both the detail work and the larger arc of a dispute.
Kevin's practice is anchored at Carabin Shaw. He works alongside a team that handles a range of matters for clients across industries. He continues to develop practical courtroom experience and skills in case management, research, and client counseling. He currently practices at Carabin Shaw, handling litigation, client counseling and case preparation.
