Kenneth M. Trujillo-Jamison

Kenneth Trujillo-Jamison, Managing Partner of Willenken LLP, is a nationally recognized litigator who represents major corporations in complex, high-stakes disputes. His work is defined by strategic precision, strong courtroom execution, and the ability to align litigation strategy with clients’ broader business objectives, informed by his in-house secondment experience. His practice spans complex commercial, social media, and entertainment litigation, as well as trademark and copyright disputes, and class action defense.

Kenneth regularly represents leading companies in matters involving consumer protection, user-generated content, and emerging issues in technology and media. On behalf of a major social media company, he has repeatedly secured dismissals on the pleadings of claims challenging his client’s moderation of content on its social media platform.

He also helped obtain a complete defense verdict for Disney and Pixar in a copyright infringement case involving Moana and has secured numerous early dismissals of copyright infringement claims in cases nationwide. In addition, he represented a prominent portrait photographer in a right-of-publicity case brought by the rapper Jay-Z.

He also has substantial experience in regulatory matters and consumer class actions, including counseling Southern California Gas Company on regulatory issues before the California Public Utilities Commission. He has represented Procter & Gamble in a dispute involving claims of unfair and deceptive labeling for a leading body wash product, and Mattel and Fisher-Price in false advertising cases involving a widely marketed infant product.
