Katherine R.Moskop

Katherine has significant experience covering the full spectrum of litigation services for her corporate and nonprofit clients. These include litigation and discovery management, motion practice, bench and jury trials, and appeals before federal and state courts and administrative agencies. She has represented manufacturers, distributors, and trade organizations in a wide range of complex commercial disputes, including breach of contract, business torts, trade secrets, fraud, unfair competition and unfair business practices claims, trademark infringement, and state and federal regulatory matters. Many of Katherine's clients are key players in the motor vehicle industry, and she has helped them navigate claims by franchisees of wrongful termination, unlawful discrimination, antitrust violations, improper product allocation, establishment and relocation of dealerships and retail sales outlets, and inadequate warranty reimbursement, among others.

Katherine has served as first and second chair in numerous bench and jury trials. She once handled a series of five high-stakes lawsuits brought by a group of automotive dealerships challenging a manufacturer client's methodology of importing and allocating cars among its dealers, and the alleged constructive termination of the dealer's franchise. Following the lead plaintiff's presentation of evidence in a recent jury trial, Katherine and a team of Seyfarth litigators moved for, and won, a judgment of nonsuit in the clients' favor. The claims brought by the remaining dealers had previously been consolidated and tried before a jury, where Katherine and the Seyfarth trial team obtained a complete defense verdict in favor of the client and recovered the client's costs of suit.

At Seyfarth, Katherine is proud to work with an incredibly talented group of colleagues to provide strategic solutions and litigation services to clients from some of the most successful and interesting companies in the country. The firm's efficient, lean case management model has enabled Katherine to take on increasingly complex challenges and responsibilities for her clients. She is constantly learning and growing, and no two days are alike.
