Kevin M. Connor
Of Counsel
After 23 years of serving as General Counsel for AMC Theatres, a publicly traded theater and entertainment company, Kevin Connor rejoined Seigfreid Bingham in 2026 to return to the private practice of law. Kevin has both private practice and in-house counsel experience with general corporate and business matters, mergers and acquisitions, real estate, finance, joint ventures, intellectual property, etc. His breadth of experience includes Asset Purchase Agreements, Operating Agreements, Shareholder Agreements, Buy-Sells, Partnership Agreements, MSAs, Employment Agreements, Consulting Agreements, Licensing Agreements, Non-Competes, Severance Agreements, etc. His practice also includes business succession and estate planning – wills, trusts and estate administration.
While at AMC, a retailer serving ~250M+ guests a year in 13 countries, Kevin also managed a wide variety of litigation including routine slip/trip and fall premises matters, employment disputes, a variety of civil and commercial disputes, consumer class action cases, securities fraud cases, and intellectual property matters. While most of the litigation was defense-oriented many of the matters were plaintiff’s cases. With Seigfreid Bingham’s litigation expertise at hand, Kevin’s practice includes a variety of business litigation.
In his role as Corporate Secretary for AMC Entertainment, Kevin oversaw many of AMC’s corporate governance functions, including its board and committee meetings, the filing of its proxy, its financial statements and related SEC disclosures. He also supervised AMC’s insurance and risk management functions and worked closely with company’s internal and external auditors, all of which experience he incorporates into his private practice at Seigfreid Bingham.
In both his in-house and private practice roles, he favors a “can-do” approach to the law, affording both prompt and prudent guidance. Like the balance of lawyers at Seigfreid Bingham, he adopts a businessperson’s perspective when addressing legal challenges for clients.
Kevin and his wife Anne have five adult children and live in the Loose Park area of Kansas City, Missouri. When he’s not working, he enjoys running, biking, racket sports, travel, reading, and coaching. He is active in the community and the Catholic Church and has served on various nonprofit boards over the years.
