Kutak Rock attorney Marcos Barbosa is featured in an article titled “Making the Bar Go Round: A Look at Foreign-Born Attorneys in Kansas City” in the September 2018 issue of KC Counselor, a publication of the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association (KCMBA).

The article examines the importance of KCMBA’s diverse membership and focuses on six lawyers from around the globe who “offer diverse cultural backgrounds and perspectives that benefit all lawyers and the clients we serve.”

Mr. Barbosa moved to the United States in 1992 from Lisbon, Portugal and is positive about his experience as a foreign-born lawyer. Regarding his background, he remarks, “It amplifies and diversifies my perspective, which I believe is critical to the profession of law, particularly litigation. My diverse background enhances my ability to better see and understand my professional world.”
