Kurt Hamrock is an experienced trial and appellate litigator. He represents corporate clients in complex product liability matters and regulatory litigation. Kurt has significant experience in asserting on behalf of our clients specialized federal defenses such as the political question doctrine, the act of state doctrine, and the government contractor defense. He served as a case manager in the "fen-phen" diet drug litigation and was responsible for coordinating the discovery phase in multi-district federal proceedings and overseeing the actions of local counsel in thousands of state court actions. In addition to his product liability work, he has served as a principal in a bench trial that involved claims brought under the False Claims Act and common-law breach of contract. Kurt also has assisted in the successful litigation of trademark and patent disputes. In addition to his litigation work, Kurt also counsels clients on a broad range of topics to assist them in avoiding litigation.
At the appellate level, Kurt has participated in the drafting of both principal and amicus curiae briefs, as well as petitions for certiorari, before the Supreme Court of the United States. He has appeared before many federal Courts of Appeals in cases involving a broad range of subject matters, including the Administrative Procedure Act, the Lanham Act, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
A cum laude graduate of the University of Texas School of Law, Kurt clerked for the Honorable Charles R. Richey, United States District Judge for the District of Columbia, prior to joining MLA.
