Murata, Jason T.

Tim has gained research, briefing, and procedural experience (in various federal and state courts) working on diverse products liability matters, including claims in connection with international aircraft disasters, public nuisance claims against gun manufacturers, global warming-based tort claims, and claims of occupational chemical exposure.

In addition to his work in product liability, he is currently a member of a team representing online travel companies in more than 30 certified and putative class and individual actions brought by municipalities and consumers relating to the manner in which these companies compute and disclose occupancy tax reimbursement and service fees.

Tim has worked with the in-house legal staff for a major international retailer on state and federal regulatory compliance matters related to consumer products, with a particular focus on issues related to the retailer's "green" initiatives (such as energy efficient and organic products). He also has experience with securities fraud litigation, and in connection with the defense of a major computer services corporation in a securities fraud class action, Tim was part of a team tasked with taking third-party depositions of the United States Navy.

While in law school, Tim participated in Tulane University's Project for Older Prisoners, where he assisted with the successful petition for the parole of a 62-year-old inmate. He continues to work on pro bono matters through the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program (DVAP).
