Kerr has had a long and distinguished career as an attorney in the Philadelphia legal community. After he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, he clerked for Judge Samuel J. Roberts, associate justice, (later chief justice) of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. After military service, he became a Deputy Attorney General in the Pennsylvania Department of Justice, working in the Executive Office reporting directly to the Attorney General. He was assigned to the Pennsylvania Crime Commission, where he, in essence, served as its general counsel during a major police corruption investigation, arguing a case in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that established the scope of the Crime Commission’s powers. He eventually started his own law firm, becoming a founding partner of Hoyle, Morris & Kerr, where he remained for 17 years. The firm grew to over 70 lawyers. He left in 2003 to join McCarter & English and soon became managing partner of its Philadelphia Office.

In his legal practice, Kerr has successfully defended individuals and corporations in numerous securities fraud, RICO and ERISA matters, trying some through to verdict.
