BG Trial Team Named Law360 "Legal Lions of the Week" for Victory Against Johnson & Johnson
A Bailey Glasser trial team was chosen by preeminent legal publication Law360 as one of its “Legal Lions of the Week” following a major win against Johnson & Johnson after a two-week trial before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Houston.
As set forth in Law360:
Meanwhile, in Texas, the Coalition of Counsel for Justice for Talc Claimants is celebrating after a bankruptcy judge shot down Johnson & Johnson's third attempt to use Chapter 11 to settle thousands of claims that its products caused cancer.
Judge Christopher M. Lopez tossed the roughly $9 billion bankruptcy deal on Monday, citing voting irregularities before J&J unit Red River Talc's bankruptcy filing. In his decision, Judge Lopez said Red River misapplied its vote-counting procedures in an attempt to lock down a deal that would have used nonconsensual liability waivers to insulate itself, J&J and others from being held liable for talc claims.
The Coalition of Counsel for Justice for Talc Claimants is represented by Nicholas R. Lawson and Avi Moshenberg of Lawson & Moshenberg PLLC, Melanie L. Cyganowski, Adam C. Silverstein, Sunni P. Beville, David A. Castleman and Jennifer S. Feeney of Otterbourg PC, and Brian A. Glasser, Thomas B. Bennett, David L. Selby II, Jonathan Gold, Katherine E. Charonko and Elizabeth L. Stryker of Bailey & Glasser LLP.
Additional members of the firm's litigation team included partner Joshua Hammack, and Of Counsel Michael Shenkman.
The case is In re: Red River Talc LLC, Case Number 4:24-bk-90505, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.
