Thomas Hamlin Named to America’s Top 100 List for Bet-the-Company Litigation

Robins Kaplan is pleased to announce that Thomas Hamlin has been selected as one of America’s Top 100 Bet-the-Company Litigators for 2019. The recognition is reflective of Thomas’ long career representing clients in high-stakes, high-value litigation.

A partner with more than 40 years of experience, Thomas’ commercial litigation practice has seen his involvement in some of the firm’s largest verdicts and settlements. He was one of the principal trial lawyers in Minnesota’s landmark Big Tobacco matter, which resulted in a $6.6 billion settlement after 15 weeks of trial. Thomas also litigated Kraft v. Starbucks, which resulted in a $2.7 billion award, Honeywell v. Minolta ($93 million jury verdict), and Minnesota Workers’ Compensation Reinsurance Association et al. v. Wells Fargo Bank ($57 million jury verdict).

America’s Top 100 Bet-the-Company Litigators is a highly exclusive list. Only the top 100 qualifying attorneys in each state can be selected for membership, and less than 0.5% of active attorneys in the United States will receive this honor. Candidates are selected based on past litigation experience, peer reputation, and representative bet-the-company matters.
