Litigating Big Companies

I have been asked before, whether or not I’m willing to take on the biggest, most well funded opponents in litigation. The answer is absolutely yes. I got my first taste of taking on well funded big corporations when I worked for the Justice Department in Washington, D.C. At that time, I took on Philip Morris, one of the largest tobacco companies in the world.

Taking on Philip Morris

I accused them of intentionally violating the laws prohibiting the advertising of cigarettes on TV. My theory was that Philip Morris was placing its billboards in major league baseball, national football league and national basketball association arenas and stadiums around the country, in places very strategically designed to get television camera coverage. They were skirting the rules. I went after Philip Morris to try to get them to stop advertising cigarettes on television.

My experience taking on Philip Morris wet my appetite for litigating against big, powerful, well funded companies. Nowadays, I focus on medical negligence where I take on some of the biggest, most preeminent health care facilities in this country. No matter their size or their power or how pre-eminent they may be, I do not back down of litigating against them.
