LVK is delighted to welcome two highly talented trial attorneys to our team! Elizabeth Parker and Ben Calleros honed their litigation skills at global firms before joining us in Portland. They have each represented clients across the country in a variety of commercial and civil litigation matters, including class actions, contract disputes, debtor-creditor matters, and regulatory issues. Their depth of experience will be a significant asset to LVK and our clients!
About us
Whether Larkins Vacura Kayser is representing a multi-national company in a multi-million dollar dispute, a mid-size client in a “Bet the Company” battle, or an individual in a heated real estate dispute, we believe we are the best at what we do. Because we focus on what we do best. LVK works to understand what matters most to you in your case—factoring in financial stakes, risk tolerance and the legal and factual complexities. We do this to tailor the type and level of service each client needs to achieve the best outcome. We clarify the complex and quickly cut to the strategies, evidence and arguments that will ring loud, clear and true with decision makers. Compared to other, often larger firms, we staff matters leanly with the belief that a well-placed approach isn’t about the numbers. It’s about the talent. We apply left and right brain thinking in all we do—we are practical and creative, disciplined and resourceful, process-driven and agile. After more than 20 years of doing what we do best, litigation has become art for us. And our results speak for themselves.

Excellent work comes from excellent people. At Larkins Vacura Kayser LLP, we're pleased to announce three excellent new partners. Please join us in congratulating these outstanding lawyers: Kelsey Benedick brings to her work creative problem solving, open communication, and adaptability to shifting client concerns. She is a Co-Chair of the Multnomah Bar Association YLS Pro Bono Committee and a member of the Lewis & Clark Law School Joyce Anne Harpole Committee. Hopi Costello Ruplin helps clients strategically navigate legal challenges in many areas, including securities, real estate, and business disputes. She loves to be on her feet, whether in trial, arguing motions, or chasing her two toddlers around. David G. Samuels has depths of experience in government and private practice and an uncommon grasp of sophisticated forensic and industrial operations. For complex civil litigation from environmental law to antitrust litigation, Dave’s peers recognize him as smart, creative, and driven.
