hen Thomas V. Girardi launched The Girardi Firm in downtown Los Angeles in 1965, he envisioned a law firm designed to help injured persons by providing superlative counsel and an eagerness to go to court to help them achieve justice. “There is a moral component to every one of our cases, and that’s been true since day one,” says Girardi. “That’s allowed us to create a worldclass law firm that’s truly here for the little guy.” That philosophy has sculpted Girardi | Keese

into a firm whose success far exceeds Girardi’s nascent dreams. Today, it employs 30 lawyers and 30 law clerks in an office downtown where, “there’s always something happening,” says partner David Lira. The firm has achieved more than $10 billion in verdicts and settlements during its span of seventeen years, including $4.85 billion against Merck for harm caused by Vioxx; $2.2 billion for California consumers defrauded by Sempra in the California energy crisis; $785 million against Lockheed in the

Skunk Works litigation; $633 million for the residents of Hinkley, California poisoned by PG&E; and $545 million in a class action against Farmers Group and Zurich Financial Services. While big verdicts and settlements tell a partial story of Girardi | Keese, they leave out the larger ramifications the firm has on the countless people who walk through its doors. “One of the things that’s most amazing about Tom and the firm is that it’s still a firm that represents a single individual who suffered an injury because

it’s the right thing to do,” says partner Robert Finnerty. As a result, leading trial lawyers including Lira, Finnerty, Amy Solomon, James O’Callahan, David Bigelow, and Jack Girardi have amassed more milliondollar results in California than any other plaintiff firm.

6 | Best Lawyers® business EDITION | SUMMER 2013

ﬔis list is excerpted from the 2013 edition of The Best Lawyers in America, the preeminent referral guide to the legal profession in the United States. Published since 1983, Best Lawyers lists attorneys in 124 specialties, representing all 50 states, who have been chosen through an exhaustive survey in which thousands of the nation’s top lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. ﬔe 2013 edition of Best Lawyers is based on more than 3.9 million evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers. ﬔe method used to compile Best Lawyers remains unchanged since the first edition was compiled more than 25 years ago. Lawyers are chosen for inclusion based solely on the vote of their peers. Listings cannot be bought, and no purchase is required to be included. In this regard, Best Lawyers remains the gold standard of reliability and integrity in lawyer ratings. ﬔe nomination pool for the 2013 edition consisted of all lawyers whose names appeared in the previous edition of Best Lawyers, lawyers who were nominated since the previous survey, and new nominees solicited from listed attorneys. In general, lawyers were asked to vote only on nominees in their own specialty in their own jurisdiction. Lawyers in closely related specialties were asked to vote across specialties, as were lawyers in smaller jurisdictions. Where specialties are national or international in nature, lawyers were asked to vote nationally as well as locally. Voting lawyers were also given an opportunity to offer more detailed comments on nominees. Each year, half of the voting pool receives fax or email ballots; the other half is polled by phone. Voting lawyers were provided this general guideline for determining if a nominee should be listed among “the best”: “If you had a close friend or relative who needed a real estate lawyer (for example), and you could not handle the case yourself, to whom would you refer them?” All votes and comments were solicited with a guarantee of confidentiality—a critical factor in the viability and validity of Best Lawyers surveys. To ensure the rigor of the selection process, lawyers were urged to use only their highest standards when voting, and to evaluate each nominee based only on his or her individual merits. ﬔe additional comments were used to make more accurate comparisons between voting patterns and weight votes accordingly. Best Lawyers uses various methodological tools to identify and correct for anomalies in both the nomination and voting process. Ultimately, of course, a lawyer’s inclusion is based on the subjective judgments of his or her fellow attorneys. While it is true that the lists may at times disproportionately reward visibility or popularity, the breadth of the survey, the candor of the respondents, and the sophistication of the polling methodology largely correct for any biases. For all these reasons, Best Lawyers lists continue to represent the most reliable, accurate and useful guide to the best lawyers in the United States available anywhere. Best Lawyers lists are available at www.bestlawyers. com. “Best Lawyers,” and “ﬔe Best Lawyers in America” are registered trademarks of Woodward/White, Inc.

Mark Briol:

A Fighter in the Courtroom

o hear him tell it, the story of how Mark Briol went from aspiring to be a professional boxer to one of the nation’s top financial litigation attorneys—and building his namesake firm into regional and national prominence —begins and ends with a simple decision: to always throw himself headfirst into the fight. “My whole life was geared around being a professional fighter; that’s what I wanted to do and I had no idea there would ever be anything else,” says Briol, the oldest in a family of seven children. “I won the 1973 Minneapolis Golden Gloves Welterweight Championship, but ultimately decided to hang up the gloves and rechannel the focus and aggressiveness it took to be a fighter into whatever I did next.” For Briol, the son of a forklift mechanic and a Catholic grade school teacher, that meant school— no small achievement for someone who openly admits that being scholarly hadn’t previously been a particular ambition. First came college: Briol graduated summa cum laude, and then law school, from which he graduated number one in his class—and he’s been at the top practically ever since. These days, Briol and the eight other attorneys who practice at his firm handle major

financial litigation, for both plaintiffs and defendants—including securities fraud litigation and arbitration, bet-the-company litigation, high-asset marital dissolutions, minority shareholder disputes, and internal investigations. The firm represents and zealously maintains the confidences of some of the wealthiest and most prominent people in the country. “When I started this firm in 1988, the Supreme Court had just ruled that securities arbitration could go forward,” says Briol. “Back then, brokerage houses were always willing to try a case rather than settle it. So I thought I could make a niche in securities law, try a lot of cases, get big verdicts and develop from there.” He also saw it as a way to set himself apart from other attorneys. “If you’re a brain surgeon, clients are comfortable that you can work on other issues. But if you’re a wart surgeon you certainly won’t be doing brain surgery.” It’s an interesting analogy to be sure, but it’s remarkably prescient in a practice that demands specialized and in-depth knowledge of capital markets, stock markets,

brokerages, and compliance. And that’s not to mention the legal and financial expertise it takes to unscramble high-asset divorces; Briol’s clients can have hundreds of millions of dollars at stake and have highly complex businesses and partnerships to untangle. But there are key differences between Briol and other attorneys that operate in the same sphere. For one, Briol knows his way around a courtroom. He has tried nearly 100 cases to verdict or award, winning or successfully defending hundreds of millions of dollars for his clients. He will not hesitate to aggressively try cases anywhere in the country; Briol notes that he won a large case in Biloxi, Mississippi. The plaintiff asked the jury for fifty-two million dollars. After a twoweek trial in which he was matched against a prominent Mississippi litigator, the jury returned a verdict of zero dollars – one of the largest defense verdicts in the nation that year. “We are trial lawyers,” he says. “This is a highly intelligent, driven, results-oriented firm with a prominent reputation. We didn’t get there by not taking cases to trial.” Second, Briol built a firm that exemplifies the advantages of a litigation boutique—and Briol, who handpicks every attorney who joins his ranks, intends for it to stay that way. He has fostered a culture of inclusiveness and teamwork that ultimately benefits his clients, who enjoy having the full force of the firm behind them. “Everyone has input here,” says Briol. “I may be the sole shareholder, but we make decisions as a team. I hired everyone here because I trust their judgment. Everyone in this firm has a unique perspective, which is a major part of what makes us so successful.” For Briol, his battles in the ring and in court have led him to where he is today. He notes, “ESPN once ranked boxing the toughest sport; the best boxers have a combination of strength, stamina, and nerve, combined with the ability to execute a carefully-planned strategy in the ring. I think of litigation the same way. At our firm, we fight hard, but a nuanced understanding of the facts and the law guides every decision we make. I’ve worked hard to build a firm that couples brawn with brains, and that had been the key to our success.”

Perfect Pitch

Since 1965, Girardi Keese has recovered more than $11 billion on behalf of clients like Bryan Stow.

aseball fans will never forget the courage of 13-year old Tyler Stow as he strode to the mound on opening day at Giants Stadium this year to throw out the opening pitch – watched on from the scoreboard by his father, Bryan Stow. Bryan was unable to leave the rehabilitation facility where he continues his painful recovery from the injuries he suffered at Dodger Stadium in April 2011. “I shed a tear,” says firm founder Tom Girardi. “Representing Bryan is one of my proudest moments. Bryan was somebody trying to live his life and got horribly injured. It’s our job to make things right.” Girardi Keese sued the Dodgers and Frank McCourt to ensure Bryan’s medical care is covered for the rest of his life – and that Dodger security is good enough to ensure no other children have to watch their parents suffer like Bryan Stow. “We are absolutely dedicated to helping the little guy get justice,” says Girardi. “Whether it’s an individual like Bryan Stow, thousands of patients given pharmaceuticals that have harmed them or entrepreneurs who have been ripped off by bigger companies, we are here to help. The firm’s work on behalf of the Stows is the type of perfect pitch the firm has achieved since it was founded as a one-man shop in 1965. The firm has amassed a staggering record: Girardi Keese has won more than $11 billion in verdicts and settlements for their clients, including $4.85 billion against Merck for patients harmed by Vioxx; $2.2 billion for Californians defrauded by Sempra in the California energy crisis; $785 million against Lockheed in the Skunk Works litigation; $633 million for the residents of Hinkley, California, from PG&E (in the Erin Brockovich case); and $545 million in a class action against Farmers Group and Zurich Financial Services. Currently, Girardi Keese is representing dozens of people who had the defective DePuy ASR hip implant installed – as well as individuals who took Actos (another diabetes drug) and developed bladder cancer. Partner James G. O’Callahan heads up both cases for the firm.

The day-to-day work of the firm’s lawyers is representing individuals and businesses who have been injured physically or economically. David Lira has become an expert on bus rollovers, obtaining a $35.7 million recovery for several families injured in an excursion from Las Vegas. “Inner City buses in China require seat belts, says Lira, “bus manufacturers won’t spend $7.60 for a seat belt on tour buses, and people are being seriously hurt and killed.” Girardi Keese is recognized for their skill in class actions, joining small individual claims into large lawsuits to force a corporation to pay for cheating consumers. “It’s critical that consumers be allowed to band together to take on rich, powerful corporations,” says Girardi. In the $545 million Farmers case, Girardi and Graham LippSmith brought together 13 million policyholders, each of whom had been assessed a small management fee on their policy. The amount was only a couple of dollars on each policy, but the illusory Tom Girardi fee reaped millions in unearned profits for Farmers. Girardi and Keith Griffin fought a lengthy battle against GlaxoSmithKline, whose Avandia diabetes drug caused up to 200,000 heart attacks in the U.S. The firm represented 4,200 patients who took the medication to regulate their blood sugar. Although the company fought tooth and nail, the case was settled shortly after GSK plead guilty to criminal charges and paid a $3 billion fine. The firm also filed the first lawsuit and has been designated lead counsel against the NFL for concussion-related injuries suffered by former players. The case has grown to include more than 2000 players who claim the NFL

covered up evidence that concussions could cause long-term damage, including memory loss, post-traumatic stress disorder, and in some cases earlyonset Alzheimer’s. “Listen, I love football,” says Girardi. “Who doesn’t love football? But I

don’t think it’s right to worry about whether we will still have professional football when we have players who can’t remember the names of their children.” Whether the firm is representing an individual whose idea was ripped off or a world-famous football player, Girardi Keese lawyers share a philosophy handed down by Girardi and embraced by every member of the firm. “I have great pride in being a member of this firm. Professionally, because Tom has always been on the cutting edge,” says Amy Solomon. “And personally, because Tom has helped us all share his love of the law and the importance of delighting in our ability to help the little guy.”

Technology as the Seventh Pillar of Law Practice

C. Michael Ellingburg

Daniel Coker Horton & Bell, P.A., Jackson, MS

y first year of law school consisted of studies in constitutional law, contracts, torts, property, civil procedure, and legal research. I saw these as the six pillars on which legal knowledge and practice were built.

Mike Ellingburg, Daniel Coker Horton & Bell, P.A. mellingburg@danielcoker.com

Thirty-seven years later it is impossible to imagine the practice of law without an understanding of the technology which permeates every aspect of our day-to-day practice. While the “human element” will remain the dynamic core of what we do as trial lawyers, technology has changed the tools and methodologies required for our work. It is a primary driver in law office management; legal marketing and attorney selection; information transfer, storage, retrieval, and security; legal and factual research; preparation and filing of pleadings and papers; discovery in adversary proceedings; communications and reporting; case team collaboration and management; and presentation of

evidence and demonstrative aids at trial. Technology has become foundational. Against this backdrop the American Bar Association’s House of Delegates voted in August 2012 to approve changes to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct which require practicing attorneys to “keep abreast of changes in the law and its practice, including the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology . . ..” MODEL RULES OF PROF’L CONDUCT R. 1.1 cmt. [8]. (as amended August 2012). The changes extend this obligation to the lawyer’s duties to promptly respond to client communications, avoid conﬂicts, maintain client confidentiality, and protect the rights of third parties. An understanding of the technologies applied to the day-to-day practice of law has assumed a key position in our ability to efficiently meet our ethical obligations and to deliver to our clients the quality of service required. Technology awareness appears to be even more important for trial lawyers. While all lawyers have to deal with the expectation of accelerated response times and increasing efficiency demands from which the profession once seemed immune, the adversary process presents an additional layer of potential complexity. Electronically stored information (ESI) and digital communications require advocates and courts to revisit how parties conduct discovery. Relevant recorded facts may be hidden within a mountain of potentially relevant information, but the sheer volume of ESI can make discovery of the critical case information more difficult to accomplish. The efficient and effective capture, storage and use of ESI has created a new segment of the consulting industry and stimulated the development of new storage and retrieval technologies, and discovery tools such as predictive coding. While different systems may appear to perform the same functions, the actual capabilities of different vendors systems can vary significantly, and one may be much better than another depending

on the specific types of documentation electronically stored. From an efficiency standpoint, video (as distinguished from videotaped) depositions may save significant time and expense in the appropriate situation. Likewise, effective searches of the internet may yield information on parties, witnesses and jurors, providing key insights which may be useful during the proceedings. Beyond discovery, with the leadership of the federal courts, legal proceedings and trials are becoming virtually paperless. The days of carting bankers’ boxes of documents into the courtroom for trial are, to a large extent, in the past. Today most of the documentary evidence in a business dispute will never see a tangible medium from the time the information is stored through the time the data is presented in its electronic format at trial. This revives authentication issues which seemed to have disappeared with the admission of copies, and raises questions concerning the use of metadata to establish authorship and drafting history, or for crossexamination. Different technologies have also made the use of sophisticated demonstrative aids possible, and in a world of high definition television and short attention spans, the party with the best demonstrative aids has a clear advantage. Attorneys simply cannot remain trapped in a world where their VCR is blinking “12:00.” The good news is that the same technology which cranks out terabytes of ESI is developing appropriate solutions for law firms of all sizes. The recently completed annual Tech Show organized by the ABA Law Practice Management Section brought vendors of the latest technologies developed for lawyers to address these issues together with lawyers and educational programs meeting the needs of everyone from solo practitioners to large firms. Beyond what was available at the Tech Show, the ABA and many other groups offer resources on line to jump start an attorney or firm’s introduction and continuing efforts to meet our new ethical mandate. Technology is advancing, rather than remaining stagnant, and firms that will succeed in the future must adopt and adapt to these changes.

Peter S. Selvin COMMERCIAL LITIGATION INSURANCE LAW INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW

eter S. Selvin is a seasoned trial lawyer with more than 30 years of experience. Although he has particular expertise in the areas of insurance coverage and international litigation, he has successfully handled highdollar real estate, intellectual property and other business disputes. Chief among his strengths is his ability to counsel clients and help achieve strategic business solutions. Since 2007 he has been listed for both commercial litigation and insurance law in The Best Lawyers in America. He also enjoys the highest AV®PreeminentTM peer-review rating from Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory. In 2011 Peter won a notable trial victory which resulted in the one of the largest judgments (over $22 million) issued in that year by the Los Angeles Superior Court. Other notable experience includes his involvement in a highly publicized three-month “bet-the-company” jury trial; his longstanding representation of media figures and celebrities in high-stakes litigation; and his expertise in successfully pursuing insurance coverage in the context of business torts and intellectual property litigation. A graduate of the University of Chicago and the University of California (Los Angeles) law school, Peter is a prolific writer and frequent speaker on emerging legal topics. He has lectured or spoken before such organizations as Continuing Education of the Bar, the Practicing Law Institute and the International Bar Association.

Briol & Associates, PLLC

s one of Minnesota’s top law firms handling all manner of commercial, financial, and securities litigation for clients ranging from individual investors to Fortune 500 companies, Briol & Associates is the go-to firm—both locally and nationally— when complex matters require razor-sharp legal acumen. Briol & Associates’ reputation has been meticulously built over the past twenty-five years by the hard work of nine attorneys who never back down from a fight and possess an unrivalled willingness to take cases to trial. “An experienced trial lawyer can distinguish between the light at the end of the tunnel and an oncoming train,” says firm owner Mark Briol. “It’s something you can understand only when you have been through as many trials as we have.” Briol and Associates. Don’t let the “Associate” title fool you. Many of these top-notch attorneys graduated from leading law schools like Harvard and Yale and have been recruited from large prestigious firms. Their interests are varied, from public service and teaching, to journalism and Chinese law. The firm’s record demonstrates these attorneys’ exceptional

experience and expertise. Attorneys at Briol & Associates have tried over 230 cases to award or verdict, in practice areas ranging from high-asset marital dissolutions to securities fraud litigation and arbitration and, when everything is on the line, bet-the-company litigation. “We also specialize in minority shareholder litigation,” says attorney Scott Benson, who has been with the firm since 1998. “But regardless of why a client seeks our services, they know they’re getting a preeminent financial litigation firm.” Nathaniel Zylstra, in his fourth year at the firm, praises Briol & Associates’ collaborative approach. “Our team approach is highly effective for our clients,” he says. “It produces extraordinary results.” Clients receive unmatched service. Briol gives his clients 24-hour telephone access and is happy to take calls in the middle of the night. “I do, however, always tell clients they shouldn’t lose sleep over their case because they have the best representation they could possibly get.”

Steve Metcalf and Bill Spitler – The Construction Law team within McDonald McCann Metcalf & Carwile, LLP

or fifteen years, Steve Metcalf and Bill Spitler have teamed to provide clients in Oklahoma with the best in construction related legal representation. This team is recognized by Best Law Firms as top rated in the areas of Construction Law and Construction Litigation, and by Super Lawyers. We provide a full range of legal services to clients in all aspects of construction law and government contracting, representing owners, developers, design professionals, contractors, subcontractors, and vendors and sureties. Our practice also covers a wide array of project development as well as pre-construction and construction related issues. We draw upon many years of practical experience gained during first careers in the construction industry, both in management and in the field, and a high level of legal knowledge and expertise. This unique combination of practical, real-world experience and top-notch legal expertise equips our team to understand the day-to-day business issues and environment of our construction industry clients and allows us to effectively and efficiently navigate the myriad of complex legal issues that arise in the construction process. While we serve our clients best by helping them avoid disputes (whether through contract drafting and negotiation, claim preparation and documentation, or sound pre-litigation advice), when a dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation or creative problem-solving, our construction team has both the practical experience and litigation expertise to prosecute or defend disputes that arise during the development or construction process. Having successfully represented clients in both simple and complex

litigation, and in two party and multi-party disputes, our team of seasoned lawyers and litigators are well versed in effectively and efficiently representing the interests of our clients in whatever the required forum. Finally, we understand the sensitive relationships that exist in the construction industry. Whether between architects and owners, owners and contractors, contractors and subcontractors/suppliers, and owner/contractors and sureties, we understand that sometimes preserving a business relationship is more important than “winning.” In those instances we have the understanding and expertise to work collaboratively with the parties to reach a result without the blood-letting that often accompanies litigation. In this way, we assist in resolving the dispute, while preserving valuable business relationships.

whom you can speak your mind. An even better business attorney—such as Tom Keller—believes in integrity, absolute loyalty to the client, intellectual curiosity, creativity, and the willingness to work diligently to accomplish the very best results. In addition to being a hard worker, Tom is a “people person” and enjoys getting to know his clients and their life stories, treating them with courtesy and respect rather than “just another file.” Whether representing small business owners or high profile Fortune 500 companies, Tom has successfully assisted his clients with mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, executive compensation, contracts, securities, financing, license agreements, and employment during his 50 years in practice. As a testament to his extensive experience, outstanding reputation, and effective communication skills, he is regularly appointed a Special Master by the United State District Court in complex corporate litigation.
