Founded in 1947, Torkildson, Katz, Moore, Hetherington & Harris is one of Hawaii's premier business-oriented law firms.  Today, we are a mid-sized law firm that has grown in response to our clients' needs, serving their interests not only in Hawaii, but also in Asia, the Pacific, and on the U.S. Mainland. With more than twenty attorneys, we provide the highest quality legal services within several general areas of expertise, including corporate and business planning, real estate, health care, education law, labor and employment law representing management, housing and public accommodation discrimination, business litigation, tax planning, immigration law, government relations, and estate planning and probate law.  The firm represents a broad base of clients ranging from large multi-national corporations, to closely-held corporations, partnerships, families, and individuals.

Several of our partners are listed in The Best Lawyers in America, and the firm enjoys the highest "a.v." rating in the Martindale-Hubbell directory. In 1995, The American Lawyer surveyed 400 corporate counsel, and we were one of only three Hawaii law firms to be listed as "Clients' Choice" in terms of service, quality, and value of their legal work.

We are also proud of our attorneys' participation in community and national affairs, with many serving on boards and publishing, teaching, and working pro bono publico on matters not in conflict with our clients' interests. In 1996, the firm was honored as the first recipient of the "Member of the Year" award by The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii, recognizing our contributions in support of the Hawaii business community.
