President, Case Linden, Kansas City

Patric S. Linden is president of Case Linden in Kansas City, which he joined in 2005. A strong advocate for diversity and inclusion, Linden explained that his firm’s clients come from “an incredibly wide variety of backgrounds and experiences” with diversity that has “consistently grown and deepened over the years.” He noted that aligning the firm’s diversity and inclusion initiatives with those of clients is “central to providing the best service and results.”

Linden’s practice primarily involves representing companies, government entities, and their employees in civil litigation across employment, bodily injury, commercial disputes, consumer claims and class actions, spanning trial and appellate courts in Missouri and Kansas, federal district courts in both states and the U.S. Supreme Court.

His commitment to diversity stems from military service in the U.S. Army and Kansas Army National Guard, including deployment to Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Shield/Storm. As an enlisted soldier and non-commissioned officer, he worked alongside soldiers from diverse social and cultural backgrounds, gaining early experience building teams from people with wide-ranging viewpoints.
