Kate Dyer always brings a can-do approach when solving her clients’ problems, whether she’s representing a major corporation, a small business or an individual. Her ability to see the big picture in the midst of the most challenging and complex civil matters, including high‐risk, bet‐the‐company litigation, has made Kate a “go‐to” lawyer when thorny and demanding problems need efficient and effective solutions. Kate has broad experience handling a wide range of cases in the state and federal courts. She defends Fortune 200 companies and their employees facing sensitive claims involving catastrophic injury, wrongful death, parallel civil/criminal proceedings and other high‐profile matters with multi‐million dollar exposure. 

Kate regularly wins favorable outcomes for her clients, including Pacific Gas and Electric Company, which she has represented in numerous substantial matters state‐wide, including a tragic 2010 natural gas pipeline explosion where Kate was a senior member of a multi-firm team handling a series of civil, regulatory, and criminal matters. The case culminated in a two-month criminal jury trial in federal court, where the company’s exposure was reduced from over $1.1 billion to $3 million. 

Kate currently represents PG&E in multiple actions arising out of several catastrophic wildfires including the 2017 North Bay Fires, the 2018 Camp Fire, the 2019 Kincade Fire, the 2020 Zogg Fire and the 2021 Dixie Fire.
