A formidable advocate in complex litigation

Our company faced a significant product liability class action in Tennessee. John Elder's deep expertise in mass tort defense was immediately evident. He guided us through the intricate process with a steady hand, explaining complex legal strategies with clarity. His recognition as a Lawyer of the Year in this field was well-earned. John's professionalism and strategic foresight were instrumental in achieving a favorable resolution that protected our business interests. I would confidently recommend him to any corporation navigating high-stakes, multi-party litigation. His eleven years of focused experience in this niche area made all the difference.
