Kevin P. Farrell

Kevin Farrell focuses his practice on complex civil litigation, appearing before state and federal courts and their appellate courts. He has obtained dismissal of major tort actions brought in U.S. courts involving injury and death in Iran and Afghanistan, and his practice has included matters interpreted under the laws of Dubai, Afghanistan and Iraq. Kevin also represents clients in the defense of product liability, railroads, legal malpractice, insurance coverage, and commercial and business litigation.

Kevin has successfully defended leading contractors in the battlefield in state and federal courts, including matters involving their release agreements and compensation plans. His most notable cases involve a decision in federal court in the District of Columbia establishing the Defense Base Act as the exclusive remedy for death and injury claims for employees working on U.S. government contracts. Of equal significance is a decision of the Delaware Supreme Court establishing the binding effect of pre-injury release agreements that apply to the parent corporations and affiliates of contractors in the battlefield.
