The firm was founded in 1965 by Robert J. Kutak and Harold Rock.[6] Robert J. Kutak was very influential within the American Bar Association (ABA); today, the ABA offers a legal education award named for him.[7] He was also instrumental in purchasing and preserving the Omaha Bank Building for use as the firm's main office, and in building the firm's art collection. He died of a heart attack in 1983, at age 50.[8]
In 1999, the firm expanded its operations in Arkansas by adding nine lawyers from Hillary Clinton's former employers, the Rose Law Firm of Little Rock, Arkansas. [9]
Kutak Rock's Government Relations Group functions as a lobbying arm of the firm.[10] In addition, the firm has large practices in tax law, bankruptcy & restructuring, construction law, labor & employment, corporate law, bond issues, government contracts, military law, real estate, structured finance, and antitrust.[11]
