It's confirmed: Mike Hatch is now with the Minneapolis law firm of Blackwell Burke. Minnesota Lawyer Associate Editor Barbara Jones called over there today and left a message for Hatch on his voicemail at the firm.
It will be interesting to see whether the former AG with a penchant for consumer-rights advocacy work maintains that focus or goes corporate. As we mentioned in the post below, Blackwell Burke's current client list includes Aetna, Coca-Cola, General Mills, Medtronic, Northwest Airlines and 3M.

Has Hatch found a home at Blackwell Burke?
More than one reliable source has told Minnesota Lawyer that former state Attorney General (and former “director of complex litigation” under current AG Lori Swanson) Mike Hatch has joined Minneapolis law firm Blackwell Burke.
I put a call in to firm partner Jerry Blackwell this morning to confirm the news, but have not heard anything back as of yet. The firm, whose website currently lists 13 attorneys (but doesn't list Hatch yet), specializes in commercial litigation and products liability defense, which might make for an interesting fit considering Hatch’s history of being a bulldog on behalf of consumers, not corporations.
The firm’s client list includes Aetna, Coca-Cola, General Mills, Medtronic, Northwest Airlines, and 3M.
