The Advocate for the Toughest Battles TOM GIRARDI HAS WON BILLIONS TAKING ON THE MOST DIFFICULT CASES, INCLUDING SHELL OIL FOR A DESTROYED NEIGHBORHOOD IN CARSON

“THERE IS NO HIGHER CALLING THAN TO GO TO COURT AND REPRESENT SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN INJURED TO ENSURE THEY ARE COMPENSATED.” Girardi has asked Shell to buy out the homeowners in addition to cleaning the site. “It’s not possible to clean the site without digging out all the soil,” he says. “These poor people should not have to live in those homes one more day. “Fair is fair,” he says. “I mean, do you think any of the Shell executives would let their children play in

om Girardi has become a legend for his courtroom victories, as well as his advocacy for the judiciary and legal profession. His 30-lawyer firm, Girardi|Keese, boasts more members of the illustrious American Board of Trial Advocates than any other firm, and his advice is valued as much by injured consumers as it is by national political and business leaders. “These cases, what my firm and I do every day, is the most important work I know,” says Girardi, who has tallied more than $11 billion in verdicts and settlements. “There is no higher calling than to go to court and represent someone who has been injured, to ensure they are compensated.” Despite all his success, he still loves nothing more than taking on a corporation that he believes is taking advantage of people. That’s exactly the case with his battle against Shell Oil Co. on behalf of 1,000 residents of the Carousel division of Carson, which is heavily polluted by petroleum waste. In July, the Carson City Council declared an environmental emergency because benzene levels 100,000 times allowable levels were found. “I’ve seen some really bad actors in my time,” says Girardi, whose fame was made as one of the lawyers in “Erin Brockovich.” He won $333 million against PG&E for its devastation of Hinkley, California, and its 650 residents, who were poisoned by hexavalent chromium. “But this one takes the cake. The residents of Carousel saved every penny they had for these dream homes, and now all they have is a nightmare.” He’s particularly saddened that for some Carousel residents, justice delayed will be truly justice denied. Royalene Fernandez was a proud homeowner of the subdivision before she developed severe health problems, including leukemia and melanoma in 1992. It took until 2008 for the homeowners to discover that their homes were built on a former crude oil storage site that Shell operated from 1922 to 1967 before selling it to a developer. Fernandez died in 2010. Shell has acknowledged it caused the pollution, but denies responsibility because so many years have passed since it sold the land to developers. Despite that, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board has ordered Shell to clean the site.

Tom Girardi a yard where they could get cancer?” As with Shell and other toxic polluters, Girardi specializes in holding accountable large and powerful organizations that deny responsibility while making huge profits. That was the motivation that fueled his recent lawsuit against the National Football League, winning a $765 million settlement on behalf of former professional football players who have suffered brain injuries. That’s also his motivation in taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers and former owner Frank McCourt for the savage beating of Giants fan Bryan Stow at opening day in 2011. Stow was attacked by two raucous Dodgers fans, fueled by alcohol and marijuana use and a lack of security. McCourt had cut back security and increased alcohol sales, Girardi claims, in the name of profits. Girardi and Christopher Aumais have led the litigation against the Dodgers and former owner

Frank McCourt through bankruptcy court and now with new owners. However, instead of trying to settle the case to help relieve some of Stow’s enormous medical bills, the Dodgers have fought tooth and nail, most recently filing motions to dismiss Stow’s entire claim. “It’s shameful, really, that the organization that brought us Jackie Robinson is claiming it doesn’t have responsibility to a fan who simply came out to enjoy a day at the ballpark,” says Girardi.

A Commitment to Clients TOM GIRARDI FOUNDED GIRARDI | KEESE TO GIVE PEOPLE IN NEED THE JUSTICE THEY DESERVE. AFTER 48 YEARS, THE MISSION REMAINS THE SAME.

hawn McCann will remember forever the day he went to work at Girardi|Keese. The firm’s offices are on Wilshire Boulevard, just two blocks west of the Harbor Freeway in downtown Los Angeles. And in 2001, when McCann started as a clerk, the firm was expanding, joining two buildings to one to house the expanding firm. Faced with a space crunch, Tom Girardi decided to welcome one of the interns into his office for nine months. “So Tom had been out of town, and I’m sitting at the little table in his office, just a few feet from his desk,” says McCann, who officially joined the firm in 2003 after graduating from Loyola Law School. “He walks in, and I get up, walk over and put out my hand. He’s looking at me right in the eye, and there’s three to four seconds’ hesitation. He grabs both my shoulders, and says, “Nice to meet you! Don’t mess it up!” McCann sat in Girardi’s office for nine months, learning quite literally firsthand the rules that have made Girardi|Keese the most successful plaintiffs firm in California, if not the United States. “Our lawyers have one job. To do the right thing by everyone they meet, first and most importantly by our clients,” says Tom Girardi. Girardi founded the firm in 1965, just he and a secretary. He became a legend working his way up the trial bar, making history in 1969 by winning the first million-dollar medical malpractice verdict in California. He went on to vindicate the rights of injured consumers in jury trial after jury trial. A leader of the bar and recipient of every accolade a lawyer can receive, the International Academy of Trial Lawyers recently named its highest honor for him. Today, the firm has recovered more than $11 billion for clients, 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 Martin in the Skunk Works litigation; $633 million for the residents of Hinkley, Tom Girardi, Amy Fisch Solomon, and David Lira California poisoned by PG&E (and made famous in the “Erin Brockovich” movie); and $545 million in a class action against Farmers Group and Zurich firm’s nearly 50 years of practice. Financial Services. “What I learned from sitting in Tom Girardi’s office Among the clients the firm is currently is that being a lawyer isn’t a job, it’s a profession. And representing are it’s how you treat people as a lawyer that will really Bryan Stow, who decide whether you’re successful,” says McCann. And like numerous lawyers before him, McCann “I AM ENORMOUSLY was beaten nearly death at the hewed true to another Girardi|Keese tradition: its PROUD OF OUR FIRM to Opening Day of the most junior lawyers waste no time getting to work. AND ALL THE PEOPLE Los Angeles Dodgers “The day I got sworn in, I took a deposition,” says in 2011; the city of McCann. WE’VE HELPED.” Carson and 1000 That tradition dates back to when Tom Girardi’s residents of the brother, John ‘Jack’ Girardi, joined the firm as a Carousel development who have become sick and lawyer in December 1972. He had worked as a clerk whose homes have lost their value because they at the firm beginning in 1968, between his junior were built on top of oil storage tanks; and thousands and senior years of college. After he passed the bar, “I of individuals injured by pharmaceuticals and was sworn in on a Friday and the following Monday I other medical devices, including Yaz, Fosamax and answered ready for my first trial,” he recalls. Transvaginal Mesh. “We are here to help people who desperately need Girardi’s lessons haven’t changed much in the lawyers,” says Tom Girardi. “And there is no better

way for our lawyers to learn how to represent the people we fight for every day than to get in court and start representing them. “I am enormously proud of our firm and all the people we’ve helped,” he says. “My brother, Jack, our young lawyers like Shawn, Chris Aumais, Graham LippSmith, or the folks I’ve practiced with forever—Jim O’Callahan, Amy Solomon, Andre Rekte, David Lira… The list goes on and on. These are the finest lawyers I know. And that’s exactly what our clients deserve.”

2 | Best Lawyers® BUSINESS EDITION | WINTER 2013

This list is excerpted from the 2014 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 134 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. The 2014 edition of Best Lawyers is based on more than 4.9 million evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers. The method used to compile Best Lawyers remains unchanged since the first edition was compiled 30 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. The nomination pool for the 2014 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. The 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 “The Best Lawyers in America” are registered trademarks of Woodward/White, Inc.

Dealing with Change in the Legal Marketplace

C. Michael Ellingburg

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

undamental and rapid changes in the culture, the businesses environment, and the competitive marketplace over the last fifteen years are well documented. Established businesses and institutions have been forced

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

to continuously revisit and often significantly change their business structures and product delivery models to adapt. Law firms face many of the same challenges. The mobility of associates and partners in law firms, combined with the glut of new and recently unemployed lawyers, has radically changed the dynamics of the marketplace for legal talent. Surveys suggest that few attorneys have the expectation of spending their entire career in one firm. Likewise the available methods for delivering services to clients are more diverse and nuanced than ever. Rapid and continuous improvements in

technology have increased the efficiency with which factual and legal questions can be analyzed and resolved, work product can be collaboratively produced and delivered, and information collected can be analyzed, formatted, and shared. Beyond the creation and development of work product, the agreements within which legal services are provided are no longer limited to billable hours. Constant demands for alternative fee agreements are a natural outgrowth of the information age which allows the analysis and parsing of markets into distinct segments, subject to the laws of supply and demand. So why do law firm business structures and delivery service methods look so much like they did twenty years ago, while the rest of the business world has been in a constant state of change? The answer is: because the legal profession is demonstrably resistant to change. See Thomas S. Clay, 2013 Law Firms in Transition, An Altman Weil Flash Survey. Generally, the survey found that large law firms recognize they face competition from non-traditional service providers and the pace of change in the profession is accelerating; nevertheless, there is little evidence of actual change in business models and delivery of services. The resistance to change in law firms is no surprise. Attorneys representing business and institutional clients are naturally conservative, recognizing that the protection of their client’s interests must always remain paramount. Constant attention must be applied to the fine balance between risk and reward, with emphasis on the side of lower risk. But change always involves risks, and the changes firms are willing to make are typically constrained by “the way it has always been done.” 1 To deal with the resistance to change endemic in law firms, we should draw on our client’s experience. Before the publication of his book, Leading Change, John Kotter2 recognized traditional business methods for

implementing change were not working and were inadequate to cope with the rapidly accelerating pace of transformation in the business environment. His observations were prescient as the continuing acceleration of changes in information technology has had an exponential impact by facilitating more efficient applications of every business task. The movement of documented information is a simple example. Information is now created, shared, stored, searched, retrieved, indexed, summarized, and parsed in every imaginable form electronically. Dr. Kotter set out an eight step process which law firms would be wise to implement if they are to thrive in this new era of rapid change. They can be broadly summarized3 as follows: (1) Establish a sense of urgency to convince others of the importance of immediate change; (2) Create a guiding coalition of individuals in a position to work as a group to encourage and facilitate the change(s); (3) Develop a vision of the change and supporting strategies; (4) Systematically communicate the vision of change to obtain organizational buy-in; (5) Empower broad-based organizational action by removing systems and structures that are obstacles to change, or undermine the vision; (6) Plan short term objectives which provide an opportunity for visible follow-through and achievement; (7) Never let up on the effort, changing systems structures, policies, etc. which are inconsistent with the organizational vision; and (8) Incorporate the changes into the culture by articulating the connections between the changes and organizational success. Businesses quickly began to implement these “change management” strategies, and it is time for our firms to follow suit.

See Clayton Christensen, The Innovator’s Dilemma, When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail (Harvard Business School Press 1997). Essentially, by implementing improvements to the existing business model while ignoring innovations which call for a change in the model, the dominant competitor loses its position as the new technology or business model takes hold in the marketplace. 2 John P. Kotter, Leading Change (Harvard Business School Press 1996). 3 The eight steps are discussed in detail in Dr. Kotter’s book and related publications which should be utilized by an organization serious about successfully implementing change. 1

An Advocate for Life’s Toughest Battles

Renowned trial lawyer Tom Girardi and his firm, Girardi|Keese, fight to save a neighborhood poisoned by toxins in the soil

n 1968, Royalene Fernandez and her husband bought a house on Panama Avenue in Carson, California, thinking they had finally found their dream home. With palm trees just outside the front door and a beach only a few miles away, it was a home built for those seeking the idyllic southern California lifestyle; and for a while, they enjoyed just that, with neighborhood barbecues, parades, and egg-throwing contests. But in 1992, Fernandez began developing severe health problems, including leukemia and melanoma. And she was not alone: dozens of residents from Carson’s Carousel neighborhood were developing illnesses. Then in 2008, the city’s homeowners and town officials discovered the truth about their community—the 285 homes composing the Carousel housing tract had been built on a former crude oil storage site operated by Shell Oil from 1922 to 1967,

“This case is why I became a lawyer.” and poisonous chemicals were making their way to the surface. “Random testing showed that the soil had more than 100,000 times the acceptable level of benzene,” explains Tom Girardi of Girardi | Keese, who represents Carson and its 1,500 residents in their suit against Shell. “The soil also tested positive for methane, which has led some experts to fear that a gas-fueled inferno could develop.” The situation had become so dire that in July 2013, the Carson City Council declared a local emergency, putting pressure on Shell to begin a comprehensive cleanup of the hazardous chemicals on the site. “Benzene is one of the most toxic, deadly chemicals there is,” Girardi says. “And the people of this community have suffered truly horrible illnesses as a result, not to mention massive depreciation in the value of their homes.” While Shell acknowledged that it caused the pollution, the company claimed that it is not responsible for the cleanup because more than 10 years

have passed since it sold the property to the neighborhood’s developers. In 2011, however, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board ordered Shell to clean the 44-acre site, after instructing residents not to eat fruit or vegetables grown in their yards. Shell also sent a letter to homeowners urging them to limit their contact with “exposed soils in your yard.” Still, as Girardi notes, the company has yet to file an exhaustive plan for cleaning the site with the water quality board: “Here we are, more than two years later, and Shell continues to fight us,” he says. “That’s what I find most despicable about all this—instead of saying ‘let’s help these people who are sick and dying and whose dream homes are now a nightmare’, the people making decisions at Shell Oil are fighting them with every legal motion they can come up with.” In the case of Fernandez, Girardi | Keese tried desperately to expedite her suit before she passed away; but Fernandez would never have the chance to testify in court—she Tom Girardi died in 2010. “This case is why I became a lawyer,” says Girardi, who has battled oil and chemical companies over water and soil contamination for more than three decades. “This firm will keep fighting for the residents of Carousel until we secure justice, because really, is it so much to ask for Shell to take responsibility for the damage it has done?” Girardi | Keese has become well known for its groundbreaking work in toxic torts since Girardi founded the firm as a one-man-shop in 1965. Indeed, the firm has played a leading role in virtually every major case where residents or workers have been poisoned by chemicals spilled into the environment by manufacturers.

Girardi himself is perhaps best known for his work with Erin Brockovich in a case against Pacific Gas & Electric on behalf of the 650 residents of Hinkley, California, who were exposed to hexavalent chromium. And yet, he notes, “Our firm has seen everything

when it comes to environmental contamination, but this case against Shell is the worst incident we’ve ever dealt with.” Beyond toxic tort cases, Girardi | Keese handles everything from personal injury and medical malpractice lawsuits to class actions and intellectual property matters. The firm currently holds leadership roles in several significant pharmaceutical cases involving dangerous drugs, and it has also filed individual cases as well as a class action lawsuit on behalf of NFL players injured by defective helmets. In all, the firm has recovered more than $11 billion in verdicts and settlements for its clients. www.bestlawyers.com | 1 1

ext 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 one of the largest judgments (over $22 million) issued in that year by the Los Angeles Superior Court. Other notable experiences include 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.

ounded in 1993, Lewis Johs Avallone Aviles, LLP has become one of the most distinguished litigation firms in the region through the skill and civility of its practice. As Fred Johs, one of the firm’s founding partners notes: “It’s rewarding to see the firm’s success over the years, because it shows that nice guys don’t finish last. Our opponents are our adversaries, not our enemies.” By earning the respect of judges, colleagues, clients, and opponents, the firm has been able to achieve a Tier 1 ranking in New York City for defendants’ personal injury litigation by U.S. News – Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms” in 2013 and 2014. In addition, both Johs and co-founder William Lewis have been included in The Best Lawyers in America since 2006. “Our adversaries know that if we say something, we mean it, and I think the recognition we’ve received stems from that trustworthiness,” Johs says. Lewis Johs has developed steadily over the past two decades, expanding from four to more than 60 lawyers. Along the way, the firm has gained a reputation for

61 Broadway, Suite 2000 New York, NY 10006

its trial expertise. “Though we first try to resolve our cases, if we can’t, we are always prepared to proceed to trial,” Lewis says. “Our adversaries know this, and we are therefore in a better position to secure effective outcomes for our clients.” Among its practice areas, Lewis Johs handles medical malpractice, transportation, construction/ labor, product liability, and environmental litigation. The firm also continues to broaden the scope of its services, with its special education practice group—a team dedicated to securing individualized educational services for students with learning disabilities—estates and trusts group, and real estate group all experiencing rapid growth in recent years. Outside of its practice, the firm promotes a culture of giving back, encouraging its members to participate in charitable and community-based organizations. While the firm supports a variety of nonprofits, it is especially proud of its efforts on behalf of Boys Hope/Girls Hope New York, an organization that helps underprivileged children realize their potential through education.
