"We are honored to have been recognized by Ernst & Young for our progressive approach and unwavering dedication to streamlining complex legal and financial processes," said Eric Kurtzman, KCC's CEO and co-founder. "KCC continually strives to achieve innovative solutions for our clients, based upon our leading-edge technology, our growing staff of talented professionals and our progressive corporate culture."
"This award inspires us to not only reflect upon the progress we have made, but also to stay focused on our path of innovation and expansion in the future," adds Jonathan Carson, KCC's President and co-founder. "KCC will continue to search for new ways to inspire employees, serve our clients and fulfill our entrepreneurial spirit."
KCC's founders, Eric Kurtzman and Jonathan Carson, left their careers as corporate restructuring attorneys to pursue their shared vision to streamline the administration of large-scale corporate bankruptcies, resulting in reduced costs and time-savings for the debtor, its professionals and various stakeholders. They knew the importance of surrounding themselves with an experienced management team from the beginning. KCC's first employee and now Vice President of Operations, Robert Klamser, has been instrumental in expertly managing client services teams and has become an integral part of KCC's leadership team. Chris Schepper, KCC's Chief Operating Officer, has grown the business in ways that have benefited KCC's culture and employees at every level. KCC's technology infrastructure is positioned for the next-gen in web-based solutions for legal and financial processes due to the expertise of KCC's Chief Technology Officer, Peter Huh. With successful roots in corporate restructuring administration, KCC has become one of the fastest-growing companies in America with a comprehensive suite of services tailored to facilitate today's complex legal and financial processes, such as mergers & acquisitions, class-action and litigation.
