Biography
Kyle McLorg is a member of the firm’s complex Business Litigation Group and its White Collar Criminal Defense and Internal Corporate Investigations group, where he represents both private clients and businesses in the technology, consumer products, construction, and venture capital industries.
In Kyle’s business litigation practice, he represents clients in federal and state court actions. His experience spans a wide spectrum of subject matters including complex contractual disputes, products liability, consumer class actions, and intellectual property litigation. Kyle has also represented clients in arbitrations, including as part of a trial team in a week long hearing that resulted in a $29 million award on behalf of a director of a venture capital firm in claims against the firm regarding the value of his ownership stake, enforceability of non-compete agreements, and his right to vested carry.
Clients leverage his white collar practice in investigations and prosecutions brought by the Department of Justice and other federal agencies and in conducting internal and special litigation committee investigations in a variety of corporate contexts.
Kyle loves to learn new things, go deep on the facts and the law, and strategize to come up with creative solutions to complex problems. His experience includes drafting and arguing motions to dismiss and summary judgment motions, conducting discovery, interviewing witnesses, and taking and defending fact and expert depositions. Kyle has negotiated a number of pre-trial resolutions, including plea deals on the white collar side and settlement agreements informally and at mediations.
Kyle also maintains a robust pro bono practice, including asylum proceedings and other impact/human interest work. In 2025, Kyle filed an amicus brief in the American Foreign Services Association v. Trump litigation (District Court for the District of Columbia) on behalf of 22 former senior national security officials, including two former secretaries of Defense and a former CIA director. The brief argued that USAID is an essential piece of the United States government’s national security efforts. And in 2020, he filed an amicus brief in the Ninth Circuit on behalf of nine civil society organizations in the WhatsApp v. NSO Group litigation. The brief told the stories of victims of NSO Group’s spyware and succeeded in urging the court to deny the company foreign sovereign immunity.
