Today’s episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast is sponsored by SouthPark Community Partners, an independent nonprofit organization whose mission is to lead SouthPark's advancement by driving economic vitality, creating memorable experiences, and ensuring an extraordinary quality of life.
In his day job, Brian Kahn is the Charlotte office managing partner at McGuireWoods. With more than 20 years of experience, Kahn focuses his legal practice on complex business litigation, class actions, financial services and real estate disputes.
But Brian also has a side hustle: He is a founder, writer and co-producer of “Charlotte Squawks,” a long-running and critically acclaimed comedy stage show poking fun at local politics, pop culture and sports.
Last, but certainly not least, Brian and his wife, Raizel, have four boys, including 16-year-old triplets.
On this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, Kahn discusses:
The importance of creativity in law
How humor plays a role in both law and theater
Deadlines — that finished work is often better than perfect work
The collaborative nature of law and theater
His process for coming up with song parodies for “Charlotte Squawks”
Balancing his career as a lawyer with his creative pursuits
Kahn received The Ledger’s 40 Over 40 Award in 2023.
