Trial attorney Kate Quisenberry represents clients in U.S. District Courts and at the International Trade Commission, applying her forward-thinking mindset, attention to detail, and advocacy skills to craft and implement effective litigation strategies.
Kate has experience in every stage of litigation, from preparing preliminary pleadings and venue motions to representing clients — including several Fortune 100 consumer electronics companies — in trials and appeals. She regularly plays an instrumental role in trial and litigation, including conducting direct and cross-examinations, taking and defending fact and expert depositions, preparing witnesses for deposition and trial, and arguing dispositive and pretrial motions. She also has extensive experience marshaling discovery efforts for some of the firm’s largest clients; developing technical and damages positions; and drafting claim construction briefs, dispositive motions, and pretrial motions. Kate’s casework spans a variety of technologies, including consumer electronics, software, hardware (including semiconductors), and various oil and gas technologies.
Before attending law school, Kate served two years as a corps member with Teach for America, teaching math and science to fourth graders at Franklin Elementary in Houston’s Magnolia Park neighborhood. Kate’s experience in the classroom still benefits her today, where her ability to translate complex technologies into user-friendly language is key in writing and arguing motions on behalf of clients and presenting technical concepts to layperson juries.
Kate was born and raised in Texas and lives with her husband in kids in a small town in the Hill Country. When she’s not practicing law, Kate can often be found enjoying nature with her family; they love exploring national parks together and taking annual trips to Montana for hiking and skiing.
