Shohin Vance



Shohin is a partner in Kleinbard’s Litigation Department and is a member of the Government Relations and Political Law Groups. His practice focuses primarily on appellate litigation, litigation involving governmental entities and officials, State and Federal Constitutional matters, and grand jury investigations. With a proven and successful background in Pennsylvania politics, Shohin is known for offering his clients in-depth insight to provide effective representation and successful results—often though creative and unconventional channels requiring a deep understanding of the rules of appellate and civil procedure. He has represented clients before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, where he previously served as a clerk for Chief Justice Thomas G. Saylor, and the Commonwealth Court.

Shohin has experience working with highly sensitive and fast-paced matters of immediate public importance. Many of these case have been highly publicized and covered by The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Hill, Politico, and more. Shohin has played a pivotal role in several cases representing the Pennsylvania Senate Republicans, including litigation regarding the conduct of elections, the constitutionality of Gov. Wolf’s COVID-19 disaster emergency, subpoena enforcement matters, and the Delaware River Basin Commission’s fracking ban. In addition, he has developed a proven track-record in election litigation, and acts as a trusted counselor to many elected officials throughout the state.

Shohin is an active member of the legal community outside of his role with Kleinbard. In 2021, he was selected to be a member of the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, which is charged with overseeing attorney misconduct and developing rules governing the legal profession. He is also member of the Federalist Society, which is a conservative and libertarian network in the legal community with the goal of reordering priorities within the legal system to place a premium on individual liberty, traditional values, and the rule of law.
