About Me
Nate Kunz is an experienced commercial litigator who represents businesses and individuals in complex disputes in state and federal courts. His practice includes contract disputes (formation, interpretation, and enforcement) and related equitable and business-tort claims, as well as employment-related disputes and restrictive covenant matters (including noncompetition and non-solicitation disputes) and trade secret and unfair-competition litigation. Nate also advises and litigates matters involving business divorces/ownership disputes, lender liability and guarantor defense, defamation, and consumer fraud class action defense. He has successfully represented clients at both the trial and appellate levels.
Prior to joining Brody Gapp, Nate honed his litigation skills in Big Law, including at an Am Law 100 firm where he became a partner, as well as in boutique practice, where he focused on commercial litigation, class action defense, and state and federal appeals.
Nate is an active member of the State Bar of Arizona’s Civil Practice & Procedure Committee and is a past chair of the Litigation Section of the Maricopa County Bar Association.
My Approach
Nate tailors strategy to the client’s objective—whether that means early resolution, targeted motion practice, or trial. Drawing on significant class action defense experience, he provides candid, decision-useful risk assessments and focuses on what matters to the business. His role is to build the strongest case possible while keeping stakeholders informed with clear, practical guidance throughout the litigation.
