275:- The Associated Press reported that Kirton McConkie operates a helpline that local ecclesiastical leaders are required to call before reporting abuse to law enforcement. Victims of abuse have sued the LDS Church, asserting that Kirton McConkie too often counsels ecclesiastical leaders to not report abuse to law enforcement due to being more concerned with avoiding costly lawsuits than the wellbeing of victims. The LDS Church disputed the accusation that their policies discourage helping victims.

253:- Between 2015 and 2019, members of the LDS Church who wished to resign their membership without direct church interaction were using a website called QuitMormon, run by a lawyer who acted as an intermediary. In 2019, the LDS Church changed its policy and now requires notarized resignation requests be sent through Kirton McConkie due to what Kirton McConkie says were "fraudulent requests."
269:- The attorney for Lori Daybell, accused of murdering her children, alleged that Kirton McConkie received a phone call from Daybell and misrepresented his position, giving the impression that she had attorney client privilege. Daybell's attorney allege that a Kirton McConkie attorney then called prosecutors and divulged information that Daybell felt was shared in confidence.
189:- Prior to 1975, the LDS Church had a policy that a woman's employment was terminated upon the birth of her first child. Kirton McConkie formed a legal opinion that the LDS Church would not win a case if challenged on its policy, that contributed to a change in policy, with a few exceptions for some religious education positions which were maintained until 2014.
259:- Disaffected LDS Church member James Huntsman file a federal suit accusing the LDS Church of misleading its members in spending donations meant for charitable causes on commercial enterprises.

238:. The LDS Church through Kirton McConkie filed an injunction, saying that the LDS Church had "ironclad" ownership of 400,000 of 710,000 documents. This sparked a broad controversy in the academic community that the LDS Church was attempting to suppress embarrassing historical documents.
