Timothy E. Congrove

Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P.
Kansas City, Missouri, United States

Tim Congrove is a partner in the Product Liability Division at Shook Hardy & Bacon, where he has practiced since ’92. He defends businesses in multidistrict litigation, class actions and other complex cases. His clients have included national and international companies in the tobacco, consumer goods, retail and chemical industries, among others. Tim has successfully and efficiently managed large-scale, high-stakes cases involving a variety of claims and liability theories, including product liability, toxic tort, medical monitoring, and consumer fraud.

He also represented Philip Morris International in coordinating the defense of product liability litigation internationally, including a two-year stint in the firm’s London office.

Tim was involved with the landmark Castano national tobacco class action that the Fifth Circuit decertified on appeal in 1996, and he worked with the team that developed and implemented the strategy that led to the subsequent defeat of numerous statewide tobacco class actions.

As national coordinating counsel for various defendants at Shook, Tim has experience:
• deposing plaintiffs and fact witnesses;
• coordinating pre-trial strategy and the work-up of hundreds of cases;
• developing and defending expert witnesses, and deposing plaintiff experts;
• arguing numerous substantive and procedural motions, both pre-trial and trial; and
• serving in support roles at multiple trials.
