(HOUSTON, Texas) Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr, P.C. (Munsch Hardt) is pleased to announce the hiring of Kelly Robreno Koster as a Shareholder within the Firm’s Litigation practice. After spending the past decade practicing in New York, Koster will bring her expertise in commercial and labor and employment litigation to Texas, joining Munsch Hardt’s Houston office on Monday, June 7.
