Maximizing Your RecoverySome of you may know that I am presently enrolled in the Executive LL.M in Litigation Management at the Baylor University School of Law and what an interesting experience it has been. This is why I am so excited to tell you about this incredible FREE program for Plaintiff trial lawyers. The speakers for the roundtable are two of the top hands in this business of ours joined by Baylor Law innovators, practitioners Liz Fraley, Jim Wren and Kyle Dryer.
Mark Lanier, ($20 billion in verdicts) is consistently recognized as one of the top civil trial lawyers in America. Best known as a zealous advocate for individuals in personal injury and product liability claims against major corporations, Mark brings passion, creativity and an unparalleled ability to connect with juries in courtrooms across the nation.
During the past 30 years, Mark has taken on some of the biggest challenges in the legal field. In doing so, he has achieved some of the largest verdicts in history, accomplishments that have changed business practices to protect the public and have gained justice for the victims of dangerous drugs, medical devices, and other consumer products. In addition, he has successfully represented a select number of clients in claims involving fraud, breach of contract and other forms of business litigation. These results cumulatively put Mark close to $20 billion in verdicts during his highly acclaimed career.
Richard Arsenault has been recognized as one of America’s 50 Most Influential Trial Lawyers by Trial Lawyer Magazine. He has participated in over 25 multi-district litigation proceedings and currently serves as Co-Lead Counsel in the Actos MDL where a jury rendered a historic $9 billion dollar punitive damage verdict that has been reported as one of the nation’s largest personal injury verdicts. He subsequently served on the Actos MDL team that negotiated a $2.4 billion dollar settlement which is the largest single mass tort settlement for a drug that is still on the market. In the Pinnacle MDL pending in Dallas federal court where Richard serves on the Executive Committee, he was part of the Trial Team that secured a $502 million dollar jury verdict against Johnson & Johnson and DePuy, after an 11 week trial.
