Critical Mass With Law.com’s Amanda Bronstad: Johnson & Johnson Takes TalcFights Back to Court, Kirkland & Ellis Leads Surge in Product Liability Lawyers

In this article on ongoing Johnson & Johnson talc litigations, Jeffrey Pollock, an attorney for Beasley Allen, successfully countered J&J's motion seeking to bar Beasley Allen's bar the pro hac vice admissions of two Beasley Allen lawyers in talc litigation. Pollock has argued that such disqualification attempts are often deployed for strategic advantage rather than valid ethical concerns. Judge John Porto previously rejected a similar attempt by Johnson & Johnson - which has since been appealed - with the matter currently awaiting oral arguments before the New Jersey Appellate Division. Jeffrey Pollock's continuous determination to find the truth in this case, as well as defend the careers of those involved in it, highlights our firm's commitment to defending clients against injustice.
